My presentation at the Johns Hopkins Medicine Simulation Center was a lot of fun. I got the chance to work with a great group of educators and demonstrate an interactive audience response system and several computer-based simulations. The simulation was timed and observers behind a one way piece of glass evaluated our performance.

Research indicates that a conversational style is much more effective for conveying content to learners than a more formal style. In the book, “e-Learning and the Science of Instruction,” Ruth Clark and co-author Richard Mayer report on a number of studies that reinforce the fact that conversational style is the way to go for interactions.

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. Here are some thoughts on creating an effective virtual lab.

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.
