How VE Studio® Simplifies Training For Program Managers

The VE Studio® platform has consistently demonstrated its ability to help program managers create and deliver training applications at a significantly lower cost throughout the program’s lifecycle than traditional hand-coding methods. Its comprehensive tools allow PMs to reduce the reliance on software engineers, instead leveraging subject matter experts (SMEs) and instructional designers (IDs) to develop the majority of the training content using built-in Lesson Authoring tools.

VE Studio® ensures that organizations stay ahead of the curve by providing the tools necessary for modern training needs. Future updates to visual assets or procedures can be seamlessly integrated, enabling lessons to be republished without rewriting the entire application.

VE Studio® offers several capabilities that help streamline the training development process, making it more efficient and cost-effective:

• Built-in Requirements Analyzer: This tool simplifies importing PDF-based procedures directly into the database, speeding up content integration.
• Instructor Operator and Student Stations: These stations allow instructional designers to manage both the instructor’s and student’s experiences in the classroom, ensuring a well-structured learning process.
• Automated Requirements Analysis and Traceability: Eases the task of defining procedures and building lessons, ensuring lesson creation and updating efficiency.
• Drag-and-Drop Lesson Authoring Tools: These tools enable instructional designers to quickly create complex workflows, manage tools, and handle consumables with minimal effort.
• Learning Path Flexibility: This feature includes auto-play, Tutorial, Practice, and Assessment modes, which guide students through different stages of learning and progressively increase system assistance.
• Reduced Dependency on Software Engineers: SMEs and instructional designers can create the majority of the training content, reducing the need for a large engineering team.
• Intelligent Tutoring Integration: The option to integrate AI modules to measure and enhance the student experience.
• Built-in Simulation Engine: This engine facilitates the integration of interactive schematics into virtual environments, creating an immersive and realistic learning experience.
