An interruption can reveal whether an employee understands the purpose and sequence of a procedure. A VR exercise can add a controlled distraction and let the learner practise deciding whether to continue, pause or seek guidance under the approved process.
Choose a realistic interruption
A question, alarm notification or changed request should reflect the work being taught. Agree the correct response with the subject expert. Avoid creating an unrealistic event just to catch the learner out.
Make the task state clear
The learner needs a way to recognise what has already been done and where they stopped. Discuss whether the exercise should preserve progress, present choices or prompt a trainer conversation. These behaviours require explicit design.
Review the recovery
Ask how the person confirmed the next step after the interruption. Link feedback to existing procedure and supervision. High5VR can develop a focused exercise around this decision without attempting to replace practical competency checks.
