OBJECTIVES:  

• Learn and practice vocabulary and expressions related to Human Resources. 

• Talk about contracts, employee benefits and health and safety. 

• Assure a professional manner when dealing with employees. 

STEP 1: ACTIVATE – Verifying and Stimulating Prior Knowledge on Moodle 

Overview: This initial phase is designed to assess and activate students’ existing knowledge before introducing new content. Conducted on Moodle, students engage in diagnostic and interactive activities that revisit key concepts to ensure they are ready to learn about Human Resources. If the diagnostic activity suggests that students need more work before starting the Train sections, they will be directed towards more optional activities. 

Activities: 

Diagnostic tasks 

• Understand the role and responsibilities of a Human Resource manager. 

• Recognizing and understanding vocabulary related to contracts, benefits and health and safety 

• Self-assessment quiz. 

Goal: Ensure students have a foundational understanding of the topic and are ready to build new skills in the TRAIN phase. 

STEP 2: TRAIN – Building Skills Through Interactive Practice on Moodle 

Overview: This phase bridges the gap between prior knowledge and immersive VR practice. Students build confidence and fluency through structured, interactive tasks that prepare students for real-world business communication. In this module, students will be introduced to grammar, vocabulary, and business concepts related to Human resources management.  

Activities: 

• Learn how to interpret customers' body language, use high-impact adjectives and how to effectively persuade a customer to buy a product to make a sale. 

• Engage in activities such as  

  • Actively watching interactive videos that test listening comprehension; 

  • Reading comprehension quizzes; 

  • Fill-in-the-blank exercises; 

  • Vocabulary building 

  • Speaking and recording information about contracts, employee benefits and health and safety. 

  • Pair work for practicing asking and answering questions about contracts, employee benefits and health and safety. 

STEP 3: Virtual Reality: Experiencing Real-World Scenarios 

1. It is essential for students to complete STEPS 1 and 2 on Moodle before starting STEP 3, the virtual reality experience on Uptale.  

2. Take the time to review the Briefing and Debriefing Guide with the students. The Briefing section provides essential information about the overall context and various levels of the experience. This will help to ensure a successful and enjoyable VR experience. 

OBJECTIVES: 

• Inform new employees and answer their questions about contracts, employee benefits and health and safety. 

VR CONTEXT:  

The student plays the role of a Human Resources manager at Cozy Quarters and will inform new employees about different aspects of working for the company. 

How It Works: In all three levels, students will engage in reading and interpreting documents, test their listening comprehension, consolidate the grammar covered in the Moodle training, and practice their speaking skills to provide information in response to questions related to Human Resources. Each experience is independent, allowing teachers and students to choose what they wish to focus on. Students can therefore engage in only one experience or in all of them.  

Contracts 

Taking on the role of Human Resources at Cozy Quarters, students will participate in a Teams meeting with Jordan, a newly hired employee who has many questions about his contract. 

Employee Benefits 

Taking on the role of Human Resources manager, students will engage in a Teams meeting with Jade, a recently hired employee who has many questions about her employee benefits. 

Health and Safety

In their role as Human Resources managers, students will attend a meeting in their office with two newly hired employees to address their questions about health and safety protocols.
