Call it Apocalypse 2040.

In the early 1970s, a computer program called World1 predicted that civilization would likely collapse by 2040. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) had programmed it to consider a model of sustainability for the world.

The prediction has resurfaced because Australian broadcaster ABC recirculated a 1973 newscast about the computer program. The program's findings, however, never really went away, as its results have been re-evaluated over the nearly 50 years since they first appeared.

The bad news for us is that the model seems to be spot-on so far.

The computer model was commissioned by the Club of Rome, a group of scientists, industrialists and government officials focused on solving the world's problems. The organization wanted to know how well the world could sustain its rate of growth based on information that was available at the time. World1 was developed by Jay Forrester, the father of system dynamics, a methodology for understanding how complex systems operate.

When deciding the fate of civilization, the program considered several variables, including pollution levels, population growth, the availability of natural resources and global quality of life. These factors were considered in tandem with one another as opposed to separately, following the Club of Rome's perspective that the world's problems are interconnected.

Such an approach was novel in the 1970s, even if the forecast World1 produced wasn't intended to be "precise." The program produced graphs that demonstrated what would happen to those metrics in the future, without even accounting for things like climate change. The graphs all indicated a downward trajectory for the planet.

According to the 1973 ABC segment, World1 identified 2020 as a tipping point for civilization.

"At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilized life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist."

This was not the end of the model. In 1972, the Club of Rome published "The Limits to Growth," a book that built off the work of World1 with a program called World3, developed by scientists Donella and Dennis Meadows and a team of researchers. This time the variables were population, food production, industrialization, pollution and consumption of nonrenewable natural resources.

"The Limits to Growth" pushed the collapse of civilization to 2072, when the limits of growth would be the most readily apparent and result in population and industrial declines.

Criticism of the book was nearly immediate, and harsh. The New York Times, for instance, wrote, "Its imposing apparatus of computer technology and systems jargon ... takes arbitrary assumptions, shakes them up and comes out with arbitrary conclusions that have the ring of science," concluding that the book was "empty and misleading."

Others argued that the book's view of what constitutes a resource could change over time, leaving their data shortsighted to any possible changes in consumption habits.

The tide for the book's finds have changed over time, however. In 2014, Graham Turner, then a research fellow at the University Melbourne's Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, collected data from various agencies within the United Nations, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other outlets, plotting their data alongside the findings of the World3 model.

What Turner found that was that the World3 model and then-current statistical information tended to coincide with another, up to 2010, indicating that the World3 model was onto something. Turner cautioned that the validation of World3's model didn't indicate "agreement" with it, largely due to certain parameters within the World3 model. Still, Turner argued that we were likely on "cusp of collapse" thanks to a few different factors, in particular what Turner called the end of peak easy oil access.

Writing in The Guardian, Turner and Cathy Alexander, a Melbourne-based journalist, explained that neither the World3 model or Turner's own confirmation of it signaled that the collapse was a guarantee.

"Our research does not indicate that collapse of the world economy, environment and population is a certainty," they wrote. "Nor do we claim the future will unfold exactly as the MIT researchers predicted back in 1972. Wars could break out; so could genuine global environmental leadership. Either could dramatically affect the trajectory.

"But our findings should sound an alarm bell. It seems unlikely that the quest for ever-increasing growth can continue unchecked to 2100 without causing serious negative effects – and those effects might come sooner than we think."

Understanding Training and Development

Training and development are important human resource management (HRM) functions that systematically improve employees’ skills and knowledge through educational and experiential activities. These processes are important for workers’ personal and professional growth, aiming to enhance performance and foster career advancement. Though they share similar objectives and may often be used interchangeably, these two concepts have unique and distinguishing attributes.

Employee training improves specific skills or imparts the knowledge necessary for performing a particular task, i.e. learning by doing. (Garavan, 1997). It improves workers' proficiency in executing their roles, understanding organizational processes, and effectively utilizing organizational resources. Most training programs are periodic and focus on short-term activities, such as formal training sessions.

Development, on the other hand, may be described as learning by thinking (Garavan, 1997). It is a long-term initiative that prepares workers for future roles and responsibilities and is often achieved through leadership development programs, advanced education, and career planning sessions (Fitzgerald, 1992; Gansberghe, 2003). Development initiatives focus on cultivating a broad skill set, covering areas such as critical thinking, leadership, and strategic planning.

Training and development programs benefit both employees and organizations. These programs improve job satisfaction and motivation. Adequate training helps workers feel more confident and competent in their jobs, improving their overall job satisfaction and morale (Mampuru et al., 2024). Training and development also engage employees in the short and long term, enhancing employee commitment to career progression.

Organizations that invest in rigorous training and development programs boost the productivity of their employees (Nda & Fard, 2013). Workers in these companies become confident when executing roles, ensuring they achieve individual and collective objectives.

Businesses effectively attract and retain talent after offering training and development programs. The competitive nature of the business world is influencing workers' perspectives, inclining them to favor employers that provide growth and development opportunities. Entities that invest in employee training and development can attract valuable talent in the labor market ahead of other players. These organizations also minimize the risk of losing top talent to competitors, effectively reducing turnover rates.

In addition, organizations that offer training and development opportunities foster a culture of learning within the workforce. These entities encourage workers to take risks, be innovative, and experiment. Such workers drive a company’s success by developing fresh solutions that yield a competitive edge and lead to positive organizational outcomes.

Effective employee training and development occurs in five primary stages - needs assessment, goal setting, choosing training methods, implementation, and monitoring. While Donald Kirkpatrick and his model were seminal in creating a framework to evaluate training programs, research by David Kolb and Jack Phillips also gave focus to needs assessment as an element of training evaluation. Needs assessment identifies the gaps between an organization’s current and desired performance and the skills gaps within the workforce. After highlighting these gaps, entities tailor training and development programs to address the deficiencies and ensure efficient resource utilization. In this stage, the organization engages the workforce to help them understand the need for training and development and how it may influence individual and collective performance.

Entities proceed to set specific training and development goals in the second stage. Improving product quality, eliminating time inefficiencies, and implementing safety procedures are common goals companies set. In his 1981 paper titled “There’s a S.M.A.R.T. way to write management’s goals and objectives,” George Doran set out a particular framework for providing clear and straightforward means of setting objective: they must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) and they must be effectively communicated to everyone in the organization. Other academic works involving goal setting included Edwin Locke and Gary Latham’s Goal Setting Theory and Peter Drucker’s Management by Objectives.

In the third phase, organizations develop a detailed training and development plan, highlighting suitable training methods. Popular training approaches include classroom, computerized, on-the-job, and simulation-based training. Classroom training requires workers to assemble in designated venues to learn from coaches and mentors through interactive sessions. Computerized training utilizes a virtual classroom setting, and employees can access these resources at their convenience. On-the-job training requires workers to work alongside professionals to learn how to execute specific tasks, while in simulation-based training trainers present hypothetical situations to trainees and watch as they execute tasks or resolve issues.

After customizing the plan and choosing a suitable method, trainers guide workers in execution. Trainers provide step-by-step instruction and coaching while negotiating with the company on resource allocation if need be. In the last stage, monitoring, trainers periodically evaluate the program’s success by assessing individual and group performance and determine whether advanced sessions are necessary.

Allen, M. A., Kirkpatrick, N., & Agosto, E. R. (2019). Anatomage table 6. Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries, 16(2), 59-66.

Allen et al. (2019) explore the Anatomage Virtual Dissection Table, a life-size 3D anatomy visualization table, that aids in the study and teaching of both human and animal anatomy. The touchscreen on the Anatomage Table enables users to engage with and examine a variety of gross anatomy and regional anatomy models. The article highlights upgrades made in the Fall of 2018. A new gross anatomical model and new regional anatomy models with improved anatomical information are a part of the 2018 upgrades. A prosection library with cadaver photos and original clinical and histological cases are also included in Table 6 to supplement the cadaver lab experience. Allen et al (2019) discuss how students can use the Anatomage website for comprehensive cadaver lab experience. Comparisons between anatomy instruction at a medical school cadaver lab and an Anatomage Virtual Dissection Table are made. The authors acknowledge that working with virtual cadavers does not provide the same experience and learning opportunities as working with real ones since it lacks a tactile learning component that can further cement the knowledge obtained in the lab. In conclusion, Anatomage Table is a great addition to cadaver-based anatomy programs and gives medical schools without the necessary infrastructure access to interactive cadaver models, but it does not replace the corpse lab as a teaching tool.

Al-Sarem et al. (2019) contend the spread of rumors is growing along with the growth of social media network’s popularity. Without any proof, rumors have the potential to spread across thousands of people and inflict significant harm quickly. The authors review various studies that have looked into how to use deep learning-based rumor detection to mine text from social media networks to manage internet rumors automatically. Al-Sarem et al. (2019) used neural network techniques to conduct an organized review of the literature on rumor detection. The authors manually evaluated five databases and reviewed a total of 108 studies. The considered papers were then examined in a systematic review to address the seven research questions posed by the authors.

Bondie et al. (2019) conducted a comprehensive literature review that explored how 28 U.S.-based research studies conducted between 2001 and 2015 defined, described, and measured changes in teaching practices associated with the implementation of Differentiated Instruction in Pre-K through Grade 12 classrooms. Research questions examined frameworks that defined differentiated instruction, classroom operationalization of differentiated instruction, critical barriers and facilitators, and how changes in teacher practices across studies did not result in a common definition of differentiated instruction. The extracted data were analyzed by study type, differentiated instruction purpose, theoretical framework, research questions, methodology, analysis method, anticipated/reported change in teacher practice, anticipated/reported impact on student learning, key barriers, facilitators, contextual factors, and teaching and research implications. The findings revealed how the numerous frameworks used to define differentiated instruction influenced various changes in teacher practices and roles. From a systematic response to policy to an informal teacher's perception of student differences, the goals of differentiated instruction varied significantly. Among the obstacles was the source of the differentiated instruction decision, whether it was the institution or the teacher. Future research is proposed with an integrative definition of differentiated instruction that focuses on teacher instructional reasoning and decision-making.

Fredriksson et al. (2020) describe GRANTA EduPack software for materials-related instruction, which was originally developed as an educational aid for undergraduate instruction at the Engineering Department of Cambridge University some three decades ago. The authors explore the software’s use in the teaching of mechanical engineering, product development, and design. The introduction of the Eco Audit tool and how it streamlined life-cycle inventories during the early phases of product design is discussed. The most recent addition to these innovative resources is a Social Impact Audit Tool designed to introduce the concept of Social Life-Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) of products. The instrument is implemented in EXCEL and is based on the widely acknowledged UNEP/SETAC "Guidelines for Social Life Cycle Assessment of Products", allowing students to investigate S-LCA-illustrative scenarios. This paper describes the advancement outlined in the preceding steps and provides examples of its implementation in higher education. The authors explain how this software is the only comprehensive database that includes a comprehensive selection of materials classes and manufacturing processes.

Guckian et al. (2020) explore how medical education has shifted to a learner-centered model, positioning students at the center of training innovations. One such innovative learner-centered activity is the escape room, in which a team of participants discovers clues, solves puzzles, and completes tasks to progress through the challenge and achieve a specific objective. In medical education, escape rooms can be used as a tool for team building, a fun method to impart technical and non-technical skills, to read and acquire or refresh knowledge, and for educational research. Despite appearing to be a shallow form of entertainment, escape rooms can be grounded in sound educational theory and serve as a low-cost, high-impact resource for a variety of learners when used effectively.

Three-Digital anatomy applications in can be an effective supplement to more conventional learning methods. The challenge for medical libraries and educators is to select an app that most effectively supports anatomical learning objectives and then integrate it into health sciences curricula. When traditional learning methods, such as cadaver dissection, are impractical, app selection becomes particularly essential. At the authors' university, where the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program expanded into a hybrid online environment, selection was difficult. Medical libraries can use our experience as a model to select anatomy resources that would be beneficial when contemplating the conversion of health sciences programs to online environments and to guide the integration of apps to supplement other anatomical models.

The authors contend the current stage of digital technology in education involves creating a new information and educational environment, which requires electronic educational resources. At the same time, effective digital teaching methods are sought. Higher education faculty actively use digital technologies to provide new digital didactic support for discipline study. Qualitative creation, development, and successful application in EER education, which is a key area of resource-based learning (RBL), is becoming relevant. The article extensively analyzed Dr.Explain, an EER for RBL tool. User options and best practices for building electronic instructional resources in Dr.Explain are examined in this article. Dr.Explain appears to generate software documentation, help systems, online user guides and manuals, and technical documentation for software and technical systems. Dr.Explain can create CHM help files, ready-to-print publications, e-books, and hypertext e-learning resources in PDF and HTML formats.

Since 2009, 3D4Medical has developed medical products, including Complete Anatomy. Motsigner (2020) noted that more than one million students, educators, medical professionals, and institutions use its interactive anatomy models, clinical video animations, and virtual dissection tools. The article explores how Complete Anatomy is a powerful resource for medical students who want 3D models and tools to support their classroom and lab learning. The cadaver mobile feature is also explored. Teachers can use Complete Anatomy to create a curriculum using pre-built lessons and slides from global anatomy educators. It is unclear how educational capabilities in learning management platforms like Canvas or Blackboard will integrate with existing systems.

Connecting teachers’ beliefs about teaching diverse learners to their noticing of inclusive classroom characteristics in video clips. Contemporary Educational Psychology, 56, 140-151.

Roose et al (2019) examines teacher competency to educate different learners. The authors discuss how teachers' attitudes shape their vision of inclusive classrooms. This study examines how three types of teacher beliefs about teaching diverse learners—professional diversity, curriculum differentiation, and growth mindset—are associated with their noticing of two key aspects of effective inclusive classrooms: positive teacher-student interactions (PTSI) and differentiated instruction (DI). In Flemish schools 462 secondary education teachers were surveyed. Survey questionnaires investigated teacher beliefs, whereas a standardized video-based comparative judgement instrument measured PTSI and DI awareness. Multivariate multilevel frameworks merged survey and video data. Findings show that instructors' diversity and curriculum-differentiation views filter PTSI and DI in videoclips. No correlation was discovered between instructors' growth mindset.

Samle-Jacobse et al. (2019) contend that differentiated instruction gives teachers a framework for fulfilling students' various learning requirements. The authors argue that differentiated instruction has garnered attention in practice and research, but little is known about its empirical proof and benefits for secondary student progress. This study explores differentiated education theory and effectiveness research. A systematic evaluation of 2006–2016 literature summarizes empirical evidence on the effects of within-class varied instruction on secondary school students' academic progress. Only 14 papers about 12 unique empirical research on the issue were selected for examination. A narrative summary of the selected works reveals that differentiated education has multiple operationalizations.

Blog Post 1 - Goals & Expectations

What do you think Human Performance Technology entails?

I think that Human Performance Technology entails using technology to analyze the performance of individuals or a group to determine what gaps there are and why these gaps exist. 

What skills and knowledge do you already have that you feel relate to the content of this course? 

As a teacher, I have analyzed student behavior in order to determine what social skills students were missing and/or lacking. From there I used that data and helped create a SEL (social-emotional) curriculum. I didn’t use too much technology though, only to organize my data using different apps within Google. 

In EDCI 577 I used the Kirkpatrick Model to evaluate the effectiveness of a training course. While this was evaluating a course I think that having knowledge of the Kirkpatrick model will help when analyzing human performance. 

What do you hope to gain from this course?

I would like to gain more knowledge of Human Performance technology as a whole. When is it appropriate/needed to evaluate and analyze human performance? I would also like to know the whole process of how one does this and then what to do what the data after it is collected.  

What do you expect to contribute to this course?

I expect to contribute my knowledge of student performance within a second-grade classroom and how it can help other educators but also people outside of education. Even though age groups may be different, strategies and tools can be modified to fit different learners' needs. I also will use the knowledge I have gained from the LDT program so far to contribute to class discussions, projects, and provide feedback when necessary. 

How do you believe you will use what you learn in this course in your future career?

I think that I will use what I learn from this course in my future career by strengthening my leadership when it comes to working with a team. I tend to take a backseat a lot when a part of a team but if my team is lacking when it comes to performing in certain areas, I’d like to be able to identify what the issue is, why it is happening, and how to fix it. I’m excited to find out how else this course will help me in my future ID career.

How to Measure Training Effectiveness of Virtual Reality

It is estimated that poor quality training ends up costing companies nearly $13.5 million per year for every 1,000 employees trained, Furthermore, a 2015 study by Microsoft found that the average person loses attention after only 8 seconds. These numbers are staggering, and it makes you really wonder if there is a better way to optimize onboarding processes for hiring new employees as well as training current ones.

For companies to avoid losing customers, money, or more, it is important to be able to quantify the effectiveness of an organization’s training program. In this article, we are going to look at the best ways to measure the benefits of using tools like augmented and virtual reality for employee process training in a variety of ways.

Measuring the Effectiveness of Your Corporate Training Programs Professor Donald Kirkpatrick developed and published the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model in 1959. The Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model has become one of the most widely applied methods for organizations to determine if a training program is successful or unsuccessful at training employees. The model has four basic steps.

Reaction: How the participants felt about the training program. What type of response does the program elicit from them?

Learning: How much knowledge or skills the participants gained. How much have they retained?

Behavior: The degree to which participants applied what they learned.

Results: The benefits the business sees as a result of the training. What does the business get out of the training investment?

Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model

Let us take a closer look at all four steps in the model and see how augmented or virtual reality can help achieve the 4 criteria.

Reaction Perhaps the most obvious challenge in creating a training program is to create one which employees and new staff respond to. It is all the common that employees view training programs as a waste of time, a day of boredom, or an easy paid day. To pass step one of the Kirkpatrick model the training program must be able to elicit a positive reaction from the employees. It needs to engage them, keep them concentrated, and keep away the boredom.

This is where an obvious benefit of a VR training program can be seen. Because VR is immersive by nature it can be used to create training programs that check all of those boxes; it keeps employees engaged, concentrated and occupied the entire time, unlike traditional lecture-based training methods. It is also a new and unique way to give a fresh perspective to lacklustre and outdated methods that simply don’t captivate or foster a positive learning experience.

Learning Another major challenge to having an effective training program is determining whether or not individuals are learning what is being taught. The most standard metric to determining an employee has learned from the training program is a standard competency exam. If scores are low, or undesirable, the entire program needs to be improved, done again, or both.

With full-scale immersive technology learning modules, you are able to build tests and proficiency exams right into the experience, as well as being able to push the results to a backend LMS or database. The end result is a much more streamlined and efficient learning process that will save money in the long-term and promote better learning outcomes overall.

VR allows an organization to create competency tests that closely mimic real-life working conditions. It also allows for examination of exactly which parts of the training program employees are learning from and which parts they are not. If employees, as a whole, perform poorly in a specific aspect under VR conditions, it can be determined that it is that portion of the training program which is lacking and needs to be redone.

Virtual and augmented reality has been used by many leading industries in the past few years for training exercises, so we can see adoption is on the rise. From manufacturing, aerospace, defence, energy and automotive, we have seen training programs executed successfully across the board. Pilots, especially commercial pilots, have used flight simulators for years to determine if they have fully grasped the knowledge, they have learned in training programs. It has been through this use of VR type training that pilot training has become so standardized and effective over the years. Pilots can train for scenarios that are too dangerous and life-threatening to train for in a real-life setting.

Another VR training example implemented more recently is UPS, and how they train their drivers for all sorts of conditions and hazards using VR technology. With VR, employers can gauge if an employee has truly learned their required tasks before entering the workforce.

Here at VR Vision, we have developed countless full-scale training platforms for our clients and partners. One of the better training rollouts for us has been with Toyota Motors Manufacturing, where we are training around 10,000 employees on hazard identification and safety protocols and procedures.

This has equated to a reduction in speed to onboard new employees as well as lowered their incident rates. In turn, this leads to less downtime for production and higher ROI for their manufacturing plants overall.

Behavior The third requirement in Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation model is behaviorally based, to phrase it another way “does the employees’ behaviour positively improve in response to the training they are receiving?”

This is answered by looking at the key performance indicators (KPI) that are outlined before the training scenario even begins. KPIs evaluate the success of an organization or of a particular activity in which it engages. Essentially, the business picks a metric, a way of measuring something they want to achieve and determine if they have in fact achieved it.

For example, a car company might want to have a zero-defect month, a restaurant may want 3 more people certified in food safety, and a construction company might want 3 more people trained on a boom lift. KPI’s are simply the goals a company sets and uses to measure whether or not they have met that goal.

This principle can be applied to XR (AR & VR) training, but instead of losing productivity and money having the KPI’s met in the workplace, employees can train in an extended reality where mistakes are much less costly (or harmful), and be made ready for optimal performance in the workplace. Furthermore, it is easier to meet KPIs when the employee has already achieved them in a virtual setting, as VR especially lends well to increased learning efficacy and overall higher knowledge retention rates.

Results The fourth principle in Kirkpatrick’s model is the results. This can be defined in many ways but the most essential way of defining results is “what does the organization receive from training employees?”. What does the business get from the investment made in training employees?

Training new employees are always one of the more costly aspects of operating a business. Replacing an employee can cost six to nine months of their salary, this cost is seen in both the decrease in production from departed employees and the cost ramping up the newly on-boarded employee. The new employee is not expected to meet full productivity until over 6 months of taking the job, resulting in further financial loses.

Once again, VR helps here. As laid out above, VR can increase learning times meaning new employees can reach full efficiency sooner, resulting in less financial loss for the business. Employees often complain that they are not sure how to use their training, or that their training does not seem to apply to the real-world setting. Giving employees the ability to test out their training and feel confident about it improves employee satisfaction and leads to lower turnover rates, which in turn leads to increased productivity by reducing requires training times and costs associated with new employees

Integrate VR Into Your Training With VR technology at a point where it has become so immersive and realistic, there has never been a better time to implement augmented reality or virtual reality into your organizations’ training program and enjoy the benefits of more productive and efficient employees with less time from training to the workplace than ever before.

Training Effectiveness Key Performance Indicators

Training and development is a vital sector of any organization. In the US, every year organizations spend 1000 US dollars per employee on average for training purposes.

Organizations put a lot of effort, time, manpower and money in this sector hoping to get a better return on investment. But with the growing number of training and workshops, one might wonder are the efforts and money worth it?

Are the investments improving the overall performance of the organization? To find out about these you have to apply some key performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of your training.

The Kirkpatrick model is one very effective tool to rate the effectiveness of training. It evaluates the effectiveness in 4 different levels: • The participants’ reaction to the training, • The participants’ learning from the training, • The behavior of the participants after being trained • The impact of the training on the overall performance.

There are many key performance indicators derived from this model. Some focus on the training itself, some take into account a broader picture – the organization.

Key performance indicators based on training

• Number of Participants:

The number of participants in training can tell you a lot about the participants’ reactions to it. If the number drops halfway through the training it may indicate that the participants are not finding the training as effective or beneficial.

• Training Completion Rate and Time:

The number of participants that completed the training and the time it took to complete the training are important KPIs for measuring effectiveness. These KPIs will indicate if the participants got what they expected from the training.

• Average Performance in Test:

The average test score of the participants can tell you how well the employees grasped the training. The test can be conducted immediately after the training or several weeks after the training. The later will certainly provide more effective result. KPIs Related to Organization Performance-

• Impact on Performance:

Training should have some positive effect on employee performance. You can measure it up by setting some metrics like- time reduction, cost reduction, improvement of quality, increase in sale rate and so on. The more accurate your metrics are the more precise your performance analysis would be.

• Return on Investment:

Figuring out an effective relationship between training and the organization’s profit is complicated. The training return on investment can be calculated from the changes in profit owing to training and the cost of training. The result of training ROI will help you figure out which trainings are worth your investment.

One thing to remember is, these KPIs vary depending on the organization. What works for you, might not work for another organization. KPIs that use very practical and real world metrics results in a precise output.

So you should put your training and development team to find out the best set of KPIs to measure out the effectiveness of training. KPIs customized to your organization will help you focus on the trainings that are actually productive and cut back the trainings that are not worth the effort.
