In XR Trainer, you will experience non-linear dialogues that challenge your communication skills. Based on your answers, you will receive detailed feedback. This feedback provides valuable learning impulses that you can use to improve your performance step by step. Within the virtual game world, you also have access to comprehensive information on relevant topics that support you in continuously expanding and deepening your competencies.
The XR Trainer uses the latest technologies to revolutionize education and promote lifelong learning.
The training emphasizes interactive and emotional learning. It allows learners to be deeply immersed in different cultural scenarios and learn through experience.
Real-life scenarios challenge learners to continually expand their cultural understanding and build their intercultural skills in a dynamic environment.
Through the use of learning analytics and AI, each learner receives individualized feedback and recommendations that make the learning process efficient and targeted.
In our interconnected world, intercultural competence is crucial for the success of companies and for harmonious societies. This training module offers an innovative response to these challenges and contributes significantly to a deeper understanding and respect between different cultures.
Overcome cultural barriers. Experience cultural differences firsthand and foster mutual understanding and respect.
Direct communication is clear and explicit, whereas indirect communication often requires subtle cues and context to be fully understood. Misunderstandings can arise when members of different cultures use or expect different communication styles. The XR Trainer helps users adapt their communication skills and trains them to effectively navigate both direct and indirect communication styles to overcome cultural barriers and build successful international relationships.
Sequential understanding of time views time as a linear sequence, while synchronous understanding of time allows for multiple events in parallel. Conflicts can arise when different perceptions of time clash and can affect collaboration and productivity. With the XR Trainer, participants learn to recognize and acknowledge different perceptions of time, leading to improved collaboration and more effective communication in a multicultural environment.
While the subject level concerns the information and facts exchanged, the relationship level refers to the emotional level and the relationship between the communication partners. Often, the focus is placed on either the issue level or the relationship level, which can lead to disagreements and conflicts, especially in cross-cultural contexts. The XR Trainer provides a hands-on environment where users learn to balance between factual and relational levels. You will learn how to communicate effectively while maintaining relationships, which is essential for successful cross-cultural communication.
