Immersive Simulation Improves Learning

Immersive Learning Simulations
Rich skills practice
High motivation
Authentic learning
Safe failure
Deep learning
Precise measurement
Performance Improvement

Best form of rich skills practice
93% of deployments showed better or much better results than other methods.
For complex knowledge, skill acquisition and procedure learning.
Deep learning through rehearsal, practice, failure, feedback and success.

Engage and Motivate
Motivation necessary for learning improvement
** Rome game testing. Independent testing with 3,000 students over 3 weeks.
ILS scored higher than any other format on each metric.

Authentic Learning
Realistic scenarios increase knowledge transfer
A progression of practice opportunitieshelps promote transfer, since learners are continually transferring their skills from one practice opportunity to the next.
The Mission Game provides learners with a practice experience that bears strong similarities to real-life this increases transfer and the likelihood that trainees will actually be able to apply their skills in real life.”

practice in the Tactical Language Training System

Safe failure
Error management critical for learning improvement*
ILS encourage error management
People can test scenarios, get real-time feedback, and review and evaluate both good performance and potentially catastrophic mistakes
* Keith N, Frese M. Self-regulation in error management training: emotion control and metacognition as mediators of performance effects. J Appl Psychol. 2005 Jul;90(4):677-91

Mentoring and measurement
Developing expertise requires deliberate practice supervised by knowledgeable mentors*
ILS provide deep diagnostics to support mentoring
Measure actual behaviour performance
Observe avoidant or non behaviour
Decision making
Judgement
