Korea Lift College MRL Elevator CBT Education Space Establishment

Korea Lift College MRL Elevator CBT Training Space Construction

Digital transformation for advanced practical training, 
setting a new standard in elevator installation education

“Rather than just watching videos and reading textbooks, actually selecting tools and parts and seeing the work being done helps me visualize it in my head, so knowledge is acquired naturally without having to try to memorize it.”

“After receiving theoretical education through CBT and then experiencing tools and parts in VR that are almost the same as the field, I was able to practice in the field, which seemed to improve my concentration during field training. It’s the best!!”

After sufficient training with CBT, we introduced this system with the expectation that practicing in the field would guarantee safety and increase efficiency, so that when students enter the workforce and work on each part of an elevator, they will be able to do their jobs much more effectively.

President Lee Hyun-Seok, Korea Lift College, Interview

If in the future, not only MRL elevator installation CBTs but also textbooks related to hydraulic and rope elevators are published, I believe that Korea Lift College, the only one of its kind in the country, will have the educational competitiveness to nurture core talent.

Overview

Korea Lift College MRL Elevator Installation CBT Development

Korea Lift College is the only elevator-specialized university in Korea, aiming to cultivate highly skilled technical professionals who can be immediately deployed in industrial sites. To this end, CBT (Computer-Based Training) content has been introduced to systematically learn the complex installation process of MRL (Machine Room-Less) elevators by digitally recreating a high-level practice environment similar to the real field.

In particular, since the installation of MRL elevators requires a high degree of precision and it is difficult to achieve proficiency with theoretical education alone, the CBT is designed to train for repetitive learning and response to various situations. This project is used as core content in the Korea Lift College practical curriculum, serving as a representative example that demonstrates the scalability and potential of digital-based technical education.

On-campus elevator practice site

The practice site at Korea Lift College is equipped with actual elevator structures, allowing students to perform work step-by-step under the guidance of experts with years of field experience. However, due to the physical constraints of the space and limited class time, it is difficult for all students to have sufficient hands-on experience. In addition, noise generated during tool or part work in the installation process can prevent important explanations from being properly delivered or limit communication between people by voice.

In the field, it is often difficult to immediately take notes or organize learning content, making it challenging to combine practice and theory. In particular, for students participating in the basic installation process for the first time, lack of understanding of the procedure increases the risk of safety accidents, and although repetition is needed, the limitations of class time and space can restrict learning effectiveness. Above all, in summer, the practice site gets hot due to engine operation and the humid environment reduces concentration, which can lead to poor learning efficiency and possibly to errors or accidents.

To overcome these limitations of field-based learning, the introduction of a CBT (Computer-Based Training) system enabling systematic and repetitive education was promoted.

An electronic lectern, 20 PCs, and VR Station XO were installed in the 1st Engineering Building of Korea Lift College, creating a digital learning space. The electronic lectern allows for power control of the 20 PCs and control/monitoring of CBT content, enabling systematic operation within limited class hours. The CBT content implements all safety procedures, precise measurements, and parts assembly throughout the installation process as 3D simulations with voice narration and step-by-step interaction, and is equipped with assessment and feedback systems to increase learner understanding.

In addition, the VR experience space installed to the side enables students to learn procedures in learning mode through CBT and then use the HMD device to actually perform operations, experiencing elevator installation scenarios and inspection simulations in a 3D virtual environment, just like in the real world.

Through the instructor control function, the content progress of participants can be monitored collectively, and remote control such as pausing, restarting, or changing content individually is possible when needed, ensuring both engagement and safety for trainees. The instructor can check the reactions and progress of each participant in real time, providing appropriate guidance as necessary for more effective operation of the experience.

Hardware Solution 

In the VR experience space of Korea Lift College, three types of elevator content developed by Samwoo Immersion are utilized for training using Meta Quest 2.

VR Station XO is linked with Meta Quest 2, providing an immersive experience similar to real-world interaction. With a modern design, it maximizes immersion in virtual reality and enables easy playback of various VR content through the touch panel monitor. Users can enjoy new experiences that transcend the boundaries of time and space, moving freely between reality and imagination.

Four Types of CBT Content and Three Types of VR Content

From installation to inspection for elevator job training, innovative educational content completed with diverse perspectives and in-depth approaches through CBT and VR!

Four Types of CBT Content and Three Types of VR Content

Through CBT content, learners can experience the complex elevator installation process step by step, and naturally recognize the main inspection elements for each type of elevator by repeated learning. The educational scope is gradually expanded from installation to inspection, and a systematic educational system is established to strengthen job competency.

Three Types of VR Content

After completing repetitive procedure learning through CBT content, learners can experience the inspection process directly in a 3D virtual environment implemented as if it were real.

The virtual environment and modeling, implemented just like reality, provide digital theory and practical processes based on visual images, and strengthen interaction between learners and instructors through experiential simulation, supporting efficient job training and nurturing innovative talent.
