To incorporate 'Simulation' in your next learning design, start by identifying the learning objectives and skills you want the learner to acquire. Choose a simulation tool/software that aligns with these goals. Design realistic scenarios that allow learners to apply knowledge in a controlled environment. Provide feedback and debriefing to enhance the learning experience. Encourage learners to interact with the simulation actively to practice decision-making and problem-solving skills. Allow learners to experiment and learn from their mistakes in a safe space. Assess learner performance and provide opportunities for reflection to reinforce learning. Remember to incorporate elements of gamification to increase engagement and motivation. Finally, gather feedback from learners to continuously improve the simulation activity for future use. By following these steps effectively, you can create an engaging and effective learning experience using 'Simulation' as a learning technology in your next design.
Creates a virtual representation of a real-world scenario allowing users to manipulate conditions and see outcomes.
Teaching complex systems or phenomena, such as flight simulators or economic models.
Requires computing devices that can support graphic and computational demands of the simulation software.
Often includes assessments that simulate real-world problem-solving and decision-making scenarios.
Secure user interactions and data within simulations to protect privacy and intellectual property.
We help you structure learning activities, align with learning outcomes and collaborate with subject experts to create learning experiences in any format and for any platform.
