Temporarily use Trek without WiFi

You can now temporarily use Transfr Trek without WiFi access. If a headset loses connectivity at the login screen, users will be prompted to enable Temporary Offline Mode and can continue career exploration for up to 3 days. Progress syncs automatically once the headset reconnects to WiFi. Only previously downloaded simulations will be available offline.

New Careers in Trek VR

Two new simulations are available for learners:

• Wind Turbine Technician: Learners climb to the top of a wind turbine and complete real-world maintenance tasks.
• Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator: Learners investigate an alarm, diagnose an issue, and ensure water quality meets regulations.

Simulation Improvements

Several existing simulations received user experience updates. These will trigger a small re-download after the main update.

Improves Trek Temporary Offline Mode reliability, delivers follow-on fixes for Instructor Preview Mode (launched March 10), a Trek VR simulation bug fix, and several Dashboard improvements, including access to historical data for users at expired organizations.

Introduces Instructor Preview Mode for Transfr Train and Programs classrooms, letting instructors experience Transfr programs from a learner's perspective before assigning.

This update also adds user experience updates for the Radiologic Technologist, Carpenter, and Phlebotomist Trek VR simulations.

New careers to explore‍

Two new VR career exploration simulations to experience in Trek:

• Wind Turbine Technician: Look out for heights! In this simulation, learners will climb to the top of a wind turbine to replace a hydraulic filter and an obstruction light.
• Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator: Learners will investigate an alarm in a wastewater treatment plant, diagnose an issue with sludge settling, and ensure water quality meets regulations for public use.

Small dashboard updates:

We added a new data point for time spent on eLearnings on programs and all references to “explorers” or “trainees” are replaced with the more standard “learners”.

Launches six proof-of-concept Trek “VR Sim Worksheets” in Dashboard Curriculum Resources and updates the Curriculum Mapping feature with a new Looker report.
