This high-touch type of interface should enable lots of interactivity, games and simulations. The noise about the release of Apple’s iPad has been a bit overwhelming. Were you too busy to read the reviews, analysis and opinions? No problem.

Almost every course involved using Flash for interactive elements (animations, games, quizzes, simulations, video, etc.). I will note that I will keep Captivate in my toolbox , as it is more effective for developing software/application simulations than building them from scratch in Flash. Back when I first started developing e-learning courses, I used Macromedia’s Authorware. For more interactive elements, I used Flash and imported the SWFs into Authorware.

What are the roles for creating a serious game or educational simulation? The client manager may also assist the project manager and the lead designer in setting up a critical approval meetings, project pilots, and meetings with subject matter experts. Percentage of Entire Project: 20% Title: Lead Designer (and other Designers) Description of Responsibilities: ( This is the role I take) The lead designer can be thought of as the director of the simulation. For projects in which I am involved, here is what ought be on the team (and keep in mind that the same person can meet several different roles): Title: Client Manager / Sales Person/ Client Requirements Description of Responsibilities: The client manager is the de facto lead of a sim project.

Many schools are using technological tools to delivery nursing education; especially in the area of nursing simulations. John Miller, a Nursing Professor, at Tacoma Community College in Washington is spearheading a nursing simulation hosted within Second Life. The simulator allows students to react to a situation, to choose what medications to administer, to chart their actions, to monitor the consequences, and to adjust their treatments accordingly. If you want to be a nurse then you need to go to school. I came across one particularly interesting example of this just

I've been trying to understand better where simulation fits within the skills development process and whether simulation is the only/best option available to trainers and/or learners. Simulation seems to me to sit somewhere between the observation of expert performance and trying out those skills for yoursef on the job, however well supported. To be effective, simulations need to My diagram shows a stepped transition from the abstract/theoretical/2D to the live application of the skill in a concrete/practical/3D environment. From a learning and development perspective,

A broad Genre of sims used in formal learning programs , encompassing educational simulations and serious games . Immersive learning simulations (the phrase was first coined in eLearning Guilds landmark [report] ) have a tremendous range of costs ; the immersive learning market includes the diverse genres of: branching story frame game interactive spreadsheet mini game practiceware virtual experience space and arguably game show real time strategy (RTS) and tycoon game . See Summary of Simulation Examples , Simulation Case Studies and Anecdotes

Karl Kapp, professor, author and speaker, understands the value of games and simulations in learning. Coach: How did you become an evangelist for learning through games, simulations and gadgets?
But, in terms of my interest in games, gadgets and simulations, it really started by observing my two sons. In this two-part interview, Karl covers everything from video games to virtual 3D worlds, their cognitive advantages and future trends in online learning.
Karl: Well, I’m not sure I am an evangelist, I don’t think of myself that way.

But when people talk about it as a platform for Educational Simulations , I am less excited. Also see Which name is better - Serious Games or Educational Simulations or...? Second Life truly is a phenomenon. It is exactly what the name and vision imply: an example of a parallel "multiverse". People will learn much in it, as they might alternatively learn

I wrote this article for Innovate magazine a few months ago, to coincide with the release of Learning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds . They sense an overlap between virtual worlds, games, and simulations, and yet they know that one is not synonymous with the other. In contrast, simulations use rigorously structured scenarios carefully designed to develop specific competencies that can be directly transferred While pieces have have been excerpted, many have asked for the complete article, which I am reprinting here. Many practitioners have been struck

Caspian Learning has produced a useful taxonomy of immersive learning simulations in their white paper Serious Games in Defence Education (Word or PDF, 4MB). Caspian's own sims fit this category. Branching story sims Single player games, in 2D or 3D, in which the 'story' advances on the basis of the user's selections from the options available. Real-time strategy sim Simulation in which the user takes an over-arching strategic role, rather than one of a particular character. Although the paper addresses a single vertical market, the taxonomy is of general interest. Here's a list of the categories in the taxonomy (the descriptions are mine, not theirs): Egocentric performance sims Single player game, where the player takes on the role of a single character in a 3D space.
