With the business world ever changing, it is hard for business students to be able to adapt to the working environment after they finish their degree and leave school. For example, some of the books and material we use in college are out dated and obsolete. Other problems include the non-realisticness of the work we do. What if you could experience what it would be like to be a manager for a day or run a company? Wouldn’t this help us in these situations in the future and give us the work place experience we need for employers to find us attractive candidates for the positions they are looking to hire in? Our audience would not only be college students pursuing a degree in business, but for younger aged students that want to get a head start on what the business world is really like. How would we do this? We would create a video game that would be educational and would stick the players/students into a realife situation where they would have to display certain characteristics and complete tasks that were asked of them. Not only is this a way to grade students more accurately, but it just gives students a better chance of being successful as they move forward in their business orientated lives. It creates that job experience that you can get without having a certain job or an internship. In an article from techrepublic.com it says “Training will be a major use for VR — there’s potential for everyone from mechanics to surgeons. For younger students though, virtual reality in the classroom could mean virtual field trips, immersive games, and even uses for children with special needs”. If they are doing it other fields education wise, why can’t we do it for the people preparing themselves to enter the business world after school? VR is the future and every field is leaning towards using it for there educational purposes. This type of VR will not only make the learning for students easier, but it makes it more realistic and can improve the students preparation for the real world of business.
I really liked seeing that you are able to take what you have learned and apply it before you even get a job because it will show the students how to deal with things when something goes wrong. one things you might want to add more of is the specific lessons that are going to be taught because management, marketing, and business world readiness are very broad terms. One thing that you might want to add is some scenarios of problems and difficulty in the work force and see how the student can use what they know to escape a bigger problem.
1) It’s a good idea to get people prepared for the real world.
2) N/A
3) Good use of evidence
1. I liked how this is a different way of getting an job and because some people aren’t aware how to present themselves professionally.
2. Add pictures or add a job career that would benefit from it.
3. Maybe see what other ways people try to get career ready and make this way better.
I like this because it is helping people with gaining experience for the field in business.
I would like to see more of what jobs you are aiming at in particular.
Maybe do some research on what it takes to make it in that field and then try to find a way to incorporate that in your idea.
1. It seems like an interesting project because you can use virtual reality to train people.
2. How will this simulation train people?
3. Which business careers will the training be for?
1. Good VR idea that can be used to train people especially with the major and help one focus on what needs to be done by the time you finish school.
2. How can this help people long term?
3. There is enough evidence to me.
I agree that VR will be used to train employees, so this is a logical application. However, I would like to see you narrow the scope to once industry and describe that simulation in depth. Also, how will this evoke empathy in the viewer? Please check your spelling and use of words that do not exist (realisticness?).
