Management training to weed out unconscious bias is one of the major areas of concern now. Cab aggregator Lyft recently took this up in a highly innovative manner using Virtual Reality (VR) for the same. Taking a cue, Udemy too has started something like it based around the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. It has instructional design specifically to alter behaviour change among employees. Those who underwent such an exercise are able to apply newly learnt information better. The different levels used in it are- remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. The use of VR was made because that is a tool which allows the trainee or a student to take stock of another’s situation. Once someone undergoes he/she may discuss experience with others who’ve been through the same. This action-based learning allows internalizing of the issues.
