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?
