The results, he explained, could be more confident and


prepared trainees moving to the real-world application of their training. “VR has and will have a dramatic effect on a driver’s behind the wheel learning experience,” Dash- ney suggested. Dashney observed that, “A laboratory-type learning


experience is more powerful, efficient and effective in preparing a trainee for the behind the wheel experi- ence. Skill maneuvers from simple to complex, as well as information processing of different situations, can be presented to a trainee [while operating in] a low-risk training environment. Teaching and learning then be- come more efficient and effective.” In New York, Michael Attar is the CIO of Future Tech-


nologies. His firm helps build such technologies for many different industries to train workers of all types. To date, school bus drivers are not among his company’s clients, but he suggested that school bus driver training could be performed with less capital investment and an overall lower risk to the entire training process. “One of the key advantages to VR training is its ability


to capture complex concept steps in simple visuals,” explained Attar. “From a safety training perspective, this enables the simulation of dangerous situations—without anyone getting hurt or any property being destroyed. These types of destructive training activities can be run repeatedly. They can include the capability to assess and score an individual student’s aptitude under stressful situations.”


Upgrade Training as Technology Upgrades Attar added that VR training content can also be easily


upgraded by changing training aides and organizing them into modules of increasing complexity. This allows for more flexibility in designing training programs, keeping pace with changing technology and changing needs of the worker’s functionality. Attar suggested that VR would be quite applicable as


more complex buses come online for not only newly recruited drivers, but also existing drivers. Those con- tinuing drivers may need to be brought up to speed on new training techniques, in order to drive a different
