(Scroll Down to Simulation, if you want to get right the simulation part of this post.) Last week, I had a wonderful time at Training 2014. The event was, as usual, a lot of fun. Especially since I had to miss TechKnowledge. So here is a recap and a story of the hyper-realistic simulation we […]

Leave a Comment (0) →This is Part One of a Two Part Interview: The other day I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Clark Aldrich and ask him a few questions about learning and development. For those who may not know Clark, here is a little about him before the discussion. Clark Aldrich first started writing about […]

SimWriter What started as a tool for internal simulation development is now a patented authoring tool available to license and use for your own e-learning simulation development. It is now on version 3.0 and features, […]

Leave a Comment (3) →One instructional technique used frequently in the simulation/game arena is the creation of a virtual lab. Here are some thoughts on creating an effective virtual lab. A good method to create a virtual simulation is to create something with different levels to allow learners different entry points into the simulation. The first level would be […]

Hope everyone got some useful information for designing games and simulations for learning. The Role of Games and Simulations in Learning View more presentations from Karl Kapp. 1. An experience as an avatar can change a person’s real life perceptions. […]

So here is a vignette discussing why playing a lean “game” can help solidify the concept and make clear the ideas that lean is advocating. It is one thing to read about lean manufacturing techniques, it is another to see them […]
