It is not possibly to specify exactly what makes a ‘good quality’ learning resource, because so much depends on the type of the resource (tutorial, simulation, game, podcast, screencast, video, presentation, text document, etc.), What does exemplary digital learning content look like for Business?

When we need to push learning, we need to create the affective context for learning via stories, simulations, and scenarios. Training programs with simulated pain points and resultant skill practice create lasting impact and aid retention. Nick's also written a splendid article about this very topic for those who want more detail.

Be Cautious of System Simulations – Anytime you use system simulations and screen shots you are in danger of system changes. Most companies have multiple updates to systems and you may need to change the simulations each time. Your course goes live and you’re done right? How can course updates be minimized? Flash?).

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. If you want to be a nurse then you need to go to school. Yikes! No worries!

Their free tool is called Forio Simulate and it lets you quickly build web-based business simulations. Add an interface to it and use the calculations in your simulation. Or just use another simulation that someone else built and then modify it.). Tags: Featured simulations
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. To be effective, simulations need to approximate the situation in which the skill must be applied for real. simulators (flight, driving, etc.):
A broad Genre of sims used in formal learning programs , encompassing educational simulations and serious games. See Summary of Simulation Examples , Simulation Case Studies and Anecdotes , or the broader catagory of Formal Learning Programs. Also called game based simulations. The corollary is also true.
The presentation titled The Representative Student  seeks to explore two challenges related to the modeling – the role of simulations or models in both delivering and learning about learning; and the relationships between adaptive courseware and social learning environments. Filed under: elearning 2.0 , Innovations , Simulations.
Here is a link to an interesting study of how the 3D simulation software, Thinking Worlds was used to create training to improve the Royal Navy's "worst performing course" – Engineering Safety Rounds Inspection. The simulation helped to cut failure rates by 54%. Tags: simulations

The cost that organizations have to spend to access an educational simulation , either by commissioning custom simulations or licensing them "off-the-shelf, per named user."
When I visited the Johns Hopkins Simulation Center , we ran a simulation involving a patient heart attack. The actions taken by myself and others occurred in a simulated hospital room using the same equipment found in any hospital room. Tags: simulations Learning at Work Education Here's why. facts.
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. At that point, it hit me.
