Transform your training with simulations January 2014
The document discusses using simulations for training. It notes that simulations allow trainees to learn through actions and mistakes in a safe environment, and receive immediate feedback. Simulations can be used both in online and classroom settings to reinforce learning. When designing simulations, they should be realistic, encourage competition between teams, and combine learning objectives with open-ended problems. Simulations work best when targeted towards specific topics rather than used universally across all training needs.

- #9 Tsunami Simulators….Impact on our coast lines, buildings, etc…..Why should we consider using simulations in various aspects of business training, strategy, operations or even leadership?
- #10 ExperientialUser directed, providing a dynamic and interactive engagement with subject matterPurpose built and relevantDemonstrate real world eventsFun and interactiveFreedom to: Fail, Interpretation and experimentPractical, visual and purpose drivenCreate discussion, explain complicated processes, provide procedural experience, creates collaborationDISCUSS THE VARIOUS ATTRIBUTES OF THE SLIDE.
- #11 Aligns staff with business objectives…A simulation compresses months/years of experience into a shorten 1-2 days.Creates TEAM BUILDING.Identifies individual strengths and weaknesses.
- #12 Simulations create experience.Allows for mistakes, and to learn from them… the cost for simulated mistakes? ZERO.Knowledge retention is higher with experience. 3. Creates constant feedback – make corrections, experience different outcomes, identify strategies. 4. Assist in knowledge retention among participants.5. Assist in developing capabilities6. Sometimes they act as the final step of a certification process.
- #13 Online simulations can teach geographically disbursed staff to work together as teams.Assisting individuals who ALONE with NO INTERACTION with other into INTERACTIVE DISCUSSIONS with other program particpantsThey collectively work together to deal with a
- #14 Online tools that you can use to reinforce learning.SPEAK ABOUT THE SLIDE.People are already plaing games online, World of Warcraft, and games on Wii and X-Box.

- #17 Best Practices:Not to over use technology --- seek a balance between technology and classroom or boardroom face-2-face interaction and networking.
- #18 Realistic: Mirror of Real world events and situationsCompetition: make it FUN and INTERACTIVECommunication: Focused:Networking:
- #23 Networking… is a valued component for team building and group interactions.
- #24 TR Example… one of the purposes of their programs was to introduce geo-diverse staff to each other.Creating multiple networking possibilities.
