For example, a branching simulation is a great tool for teaching novice or relatively new employees certain concepts and procedures but a branching simulation is not as effective for experience learners. The experienced learner looks at the options in a branching simulation and says “I’d never pick anyone of those answers.”

One instructional technique used frequently in the simulation/game arena is the creation of a 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. This provides clear objectives and instructional goals.

What is the greatest challenge still facing trainers trying to successfully implement serious games and simulations to train their workforce? In fact, we know a great deal about how games and simulations can be used effectively by trainers to facilitate learning. Another challenge is trying to over engineer a game or simulation.
