What do you like best about Facilitate?

The Facilitate VR platform is a user friendly, comprehensive VR creation suite that really enables me, as a Learning Technologist, to create bespoke 360VR content that is engaging and innovative. Introducing it within the learning environment at Coleg Y Cymoedd has encouraged new ways of engaging with students across a broad range of subject areas including Catering & Hospitality, Automotive Engineering, Plumbing and Sports.

It has helped us to take elements of a course that traditionally may be dis-engaging and give them a different spin - we've found it particularly useful for Health & Safety modules and for "process refreshers": walking learners through using pieces of equipment after their initial induction session, reinforcing what they've already learned in a previous lesson.

Learners have responded very positively to the introduction of Facilitate, as have staff members who are regularly approaching the Technology Enhanced Learning department to create bespoke sessions for their respective courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facilitate?

Facilitate may benefit from the introduction of a dedicated desktop app for creation of resources in future, as the nature of using it on a vast campus inevitably means that WiFi connection strengths in certain areas of our buildings can vary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Facilitate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has made traditionally "dry" modules/teaching elements far more engaging and relevant, as we can use our college spaces as the environments, providing learners with a sense of familiarity and consistency that is essential. It also has allowed learners who may have missed practical sessions to be able to catch up at a later date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
