experiential learning

Experiential learning - or, “learning by doing” - is well regarded as the ideal method for helping learners build soft skills.

While traditional experiential learning involves in-person or on-site work, placements, or apprenticeships, Bodyswaps helps bridge the gap by providing realistic, immersive replications of real-world experiences for in-depth and self-reflective practice.

Within Bodyswaps, learners can Act, Experience, Reflect, and Receive Feedback, all in a psychologically safe environment where they feel no fear of judgement or harsh consequences.

Act
Take the initiative and make decisions

Experience
the consequences of those choices

Reflect
and critically analyse your performance

Get feedback
and engage intellectually with areas of improvement

Embodied immersion

By embodying a presence in high fidelity immersive environments, learners practise skills in situations that closely resemble the look and feel of real life. This leads to the heightening of learning personalisation thanks to the visceral experience of the scenario.

Affect

Emotional resonance is one of the primary drivers of engagement and retention. Living through an experience makes learning personally meaningful, effective, and enduring.

Adaptive practice

Advancements in technology allow us to use performance and learning data to identify individualised learning paths for students. These paths can adapt the content and activities offered by aligning to learners’ specific needs.

Human-like conversations

Managed by Learning Designers who can monitor the input and output, AI tools can replicate human conversation in a believable way that empowers role-play conversations to stretch further than ever before.

Application

Having the chance to practise with well-timed feedback corrects misconceptions and helps embed new skills, making them easier to recall when needed.

Personalised feedback

AI helps to provide immediate personalised feedback, allowing learners to reflect and respond in the moment.
