All rights reserved.This document explains the objectives, characteristics, and design process of a virtual learning environment for the immersive teaching of high-risk equipment operation in Design and Architecture workshops. This proposal aims, through a tutorial and assessment mode, to substantially improve the training processes in cutting machinery in the Design and Architecture workshops for students enrolled in Creative Studies. The project has a special emphasis on safety and equipment operation aspects, with the possibility to register and document the training process of each student. At this moment, the educational innovation project shows an 80% progress, expecting to have the first implementation tests in March 2022. The main aspects of the research methodology to be carried out during 2022, once the virtual environment is finished, are explained in the document. This project has the support of the Novus Fund for Educational Innovation, Institute for the Future of Education, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico.
