At the current pace of
science and technology, we
need to shift to organizing for
innovation, adaptation and
survival.

Innovation is a function of moving
within, among and beyond the
disciplines, solving real world
problems and integrating theory
and applied techniques to create
new knowledge, tools, processes,
systems, environments, etc.
In a word transdisciplinarity.

Why
GAMES?
The fundamental question of the 21st
century is how do
we organize and produce innovation?

Through mixing
realities, research is
expanding the potential
of embedded training
in the field and in
battle labs to provide
integrated training
anytime, anywhere.
Advancements are
being transferred
across industries
from business
prototypes to
hospitality training.
Integrated research in
tracking, registration,
rendering, display, and
scenario delivery are
expanding the
possibilities of
CONSTRUCTIVE
simulation as well as
after action review, and
command and control
visualizations.

Recommendation #1: Increase emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of new learning technologies
and approaches to designing and implementing such systems. Use an adaptive learning approach that
integrates real world problems, data, processes and systems; empirical research and human performance;
and instructional design and delivery. The key is to integrate empirical research into the design and
implementation of new modes of learning in order to inform future selection and variation of learning systems.
This requirement is also shared by the US Department of Education (DOE) and the National Science
Foundation (NSF) in its efforts toward educational reform especially in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Students will use the America's Army gaming
technology to explore kinematics in a ballistics
project. They will be able to test the accuracy
of their calculations in the virtual environment
to observe how different variables such as
displacement, time, velocity and elevation
angles affect the principles of engineering.
Students will be able to visualize a parabola
trajectory and calculate the varied velocities,
ranges, and angles of their device within the
game. Students will also be able to 'drive' a
vehicle around a virtual obstacle course as
well as perform a virtual helicopter drop and
determine how various factors will affect the
physics of the activity.
"Emerging research indicates that rich virtual
simulation does increase student mastery,
especially in technical studies," said Richard
Grimsley, PLTW Vice President for Programs.
After an initial pilot in the state of Ohio, the
modules will be incorporated into Project Lead
the Way's teacher training system for
deployment in all pre-engineering classes
throughout the country in the 2009-2010
academic year.

care unit and places them in a first-person role as a health-care professional. Funded by the
U.S. Office of Naval Research, Pulse!! is being developed by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi,
which in turn hired Hunt Valley (Md.)-based BreakAway to produce and design the platform.

Tuesday, 11 December 2007
Through presentations from academic, industrial and military simulation experts, 43 teachers were introduced
to the world of simulation and its related technologies. As part of the program, the teachers visited the
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference at the Orange County Convention Center,
were given physics simulation
software to use in their classrooms, and had the opportunity to experience hands-on lessons about the
Modeling, Simulation & Training (MS&T) industry.

following basic directions:
· From Quantitative Expansion to
Qualitative Accomplishments such as
the increase in productivity through
legal and institutional reforms and
innovations in business processes
throughout society…Social
transformation not just technical.
· From Creation of new industries led
by the government to Foundation for
new industries. The government’s
new role is to focus on the enabling
environment and the private sector
will be developing new independent
and creative industries… Bottom up
and top down organization for
innovation.
· From Catch-up Strategy to Leading

competitiveness in IT, the government
will increase leading investments in
core technologies and strategic

produce significant added value in the
