About this resource

Bodyswaps’ VR simulations are a great way to develop and practise public speaking and presentation skills. But to help learners make the most of these opportunities, we have created some offline exercises for them to complete before they put their headset on.

Ideally, learners should complete these exercises a day or two before starting the simulation to have sufficient time to reflect on what they discover.

If learners aren’t able to complete these exercises beforehand, they can still benefit from taking a few minutes to think about them just before they start the relevant activity in VR.

Once learners have completed an activity, the best way to boost learning outcomes and maximise chances of success is by practising what they have learned - a lot!

We have also suggested some exercises they can do once they take the headset off to extend the benefits of the training.

This document collates the offline exercises in relation to each individual activity.

Learners can do these exercises alone or in discussion with others. It may help them to keep notes on these activities.
