Understanding the Effectiveness of Modern Technologies on Training Retention and Satisfaction

Abstract

E-learning has become a very common and useful tool for skill development. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity and adaptability of this method increased drastically. Hence, various studies focused on understanding the effectiveness of this method. The academic literature highlights the need to explore alternative solutions that can increase a learner's content retention and satisfaction when learning online. Modern technologies can be a great solution for this need with the correct application and development. This paper focuses on analyzing the effects of content retention and satisfaction through three technologies: online platform, virtual reality (VR), and hologram display. A quantitative and qualitative pilot study was developed to analyze the impact of the three different methods. Based on the results of the study, the online platform had the highest average score on content retention, and the hologram display had the highest satisfaction rate among all the groups.
