The use of cyber-physical tools such as VR and AR experiences added to themodularity and allowed the users to gain an enhanced experience of what it would be like tobe in a mine, when combining visual, tactile, acoustic and olfactory stimulations. The addedadvantage of easy access makes the platform ideally suited to serve as a testbed to supportproof of concept research for industry partners. This approach supported the pedagogy ofconnectivism, wherein students were taught to use digital tools, as well as adopting the use ofdigital tools to facilitate the transfer of knowledge
