Here is a basic course layout, anchored by a low bandwidth simulator with audio. You are a sales person charged with getting commitments from a potential client. In this sample, you get some presentations of instructional material before interacting with a character. If you apply the methodology, you can go on to get additional meetings with the other constituents you'll need to convince in order to get the mandate.

As with many EB simulations, there are different ways to apply the methodology and different challenges presented by multiple characters.

Note that the methodologies incorporated in all EB courses can be replaced by your methodologies if you teach different techniques. The Experience Builder^TM authoring tool allows authors to change the content, teaching points and tutoring quickly. By reusing the content and scene structure, EB can quickly rewrite this course to teach your methods and easily add scenarios that reflect your specific customer interactions.

This coaching simulator is published in two different interfaces. Both contain the same content but are presented with a different look and feel. These seemingly different simulations illustrate one of the many benefits of the Experience Builder^TM simulation authoring tool. Since our simulations are not page-built, you can update content or change the interface easily and quickly.

Try the Flash Video version, then take a look at the HTML version to see the difference. The Flash interface provides an engaging user experience with dynamic video clips, while the HTML version engages the user with simple, highly secure technology. Note: The Flash interface requires the Flash Player (version 7) plugin. You may be redirected to the Macromedia site if your browser does not have the required plugin. Also, it has full motion character video, but it will work even if your computer is not equipped with a sound card.

Simulations are an invaluable way to measure someone's skills in real-world conditions. Instead of measuring memory, simulation-based assessments measure the decisions an individual makes when confronted with situations they might see on the job. Unlike practice scenarios, assessment scenarios capture the same performance information do not give the user performance feedback or tutoring.

Here is a sample from a set of assessment scenarios Experience Builders developed for a commercial off-the-shelf sales training system in the call center market. Users work through simulated sales calls, and the system tracks their performance. This information is then used to craft a tailored learning experience for the user, for example, adding practice in skill areas in which the user was weak.

Note that this demo requires Windows Media Player.
