The course will start on July 6, 2026 and will only be for one quarter, ending in late September. MV4002: This course focuses on training issues in virtual environments (VEs). VEs have often been considered to be general purpose trainers. However, systems are often built without an understanding of how to build a trainer that can verify that it improves subsequent performance without forming bad habits or other reverse training artifacts. This course will first investigate VE training systems from a theoretical perspective, focusing on learning, memory, and cognition. From this framework, actual training systems will be studied with the focus being on an actual study of training transfer of a real training system. This course is not new to our client and there will be content & materials available from previous iterations of the courses. If you have the required experience and would like to work with a world class graduate institution then please apply!
