Simulations and the Future of Learning offers trainers andeducators the information and perspective they need to understand,design, build, and deploy computer simulations for this generation.Looking back on his recent first-hand experience as lead designerfor an advanced leadership development simulation, author ClarkAldrich has created a detailed case study of the creation anddeployment of an e-learning simulation that had the developmentcycle of a modern computer game. With this book Aldrich, a leaderin the e-learning field, has created an intriguing roadmap for thefuture of learning while taking us along on an entertainingrollercoaster ride of trial and error, success and failure.Simulations and the Future of Learning outlines the designprinciples and critical decisions around any simulation'scomponents-- the interface, the physics and animation systems,the artificial intelligence, and sets and figures. Using thisaccessible resource, readers will learn how to create and evaluatesuccessful simulations that have the following characteristics:authentic and relevant scenarios; applied pressure situations thattap user's emotion and force them to act; a sense of unrestrictedoptions; and replayability.
