A consortium led by Community Circle and involving BI Pure water, kama.ai, Transform Interactive, and the University of British Columbia has developed and launched a new training application from Community Circle’s Operator’s Walkthrough Lab (OWL) platform. The consortium members worked together to transform the OWL platform into a suite of educational and training tools that could be used to foster better public works training in rural communities. The application includes AI and XR tools, interactive modules with built-in quizzes, and a virtual support assistant. According to Nation Talk, the OWL water plant operator training application gives Indigenous community members a way to develop their skills in water plant operations without leaving their communities.
