Here are some informative white papers that will give you useful information on simulations.

Learning-by-Doing, Good and Cheap
Developing simulations has traditionally been expensive, but the right approach can radically reduce time and money without sacrificing quality or learning design.

Customizing Simulation-Based Training
Customizing simulations has often been an expensive proposition that is cost prohibitive for many companies. Learn how to get the maximum amount of customization flexibility with the smallest amount of work.

Good Simulation Design
The term simulation is commonly used for any kind of e-learning that is remotely interactive. However, good e-learning is immersive and effective at modifying behaviors. Discover the ins and outs of good simulation design.

Simulation With Attitude: Techniques to Increase Learning Effectiveness
Anyone can make a simulation. Simply stringing together a sequence of user choices and associating them with system responses can be called a simulation. But making a simulation that actually teaches is like a work of art: it takes skill and experience to create.

Using Simulations as Part of a Blended Training Strategy
Training professionals have an array of training approaches to work with. Simulation-based training, which enables learners to practice skills and to acquire knowledge in the context of real-world activity, can support and strengthen other forms of training, including classroom-based and traditional e-learning courses.

A Comparison of Simulation-Based and Conventional Training Methods
A growing chorus of practitioners sing the praises of simulation-based training. As pinched budgets drive managers to scrutinize the return on their training investments, the question is, are simulation-based methods more effective than conventional training methods, such as classroom-based and traditional e-Learning?
