XR Buyers Guide - How do I get training content?

This first section looks at the question of obtaining relevant training content for use with XR technology.

The first and most important consideration is how to obtain training content for the new XR medium. Currently, there are three methods for obtaining training content utilizing these technologies:

1. Buy generic but ready-made 'off-the-shelf' content.
2. Engage a development agency to create content for you.
3. Create content internally via self-authoring solutions.

Main Considerations

Cost

• How many use cases can I address given the chosen approach and my budget?
• Is this approach sustainable in the longer term?

Content specificity

• Will the content be specific enough to our procedure/organization/industry/culture etc?

Content flexibility

• Can the content be adapted over time/need?
• How easy/costly will these changes be?

Time

• How long will it take to see a return or provide an internal proof of concept for this technology?
• Will the time taken to create the content meet our training timeframes?
  

The Facilitate Approach

We believe that in order to see a good return on investment from XR technology, investing in an internal capability to create content is the future.

Self-authoring tools like Facilitate are the cornerstone of this capability and democratizes the creation process, therefore making it much more scalable and sustainable.
