The New World of Simulations
![Page 2: Clark Aldrich, E-learning Researcher OnlineLearning Industry Watch Columnist SimuLearn Co-founder October, 2001 The New World of Simulations clark.aldrich@simulearn.net.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697c0081a28abf838cc66f6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Tradition E-Learning Content
• Extended lectures – People can listen to classes, over space, over time, with increased
interaction, and decreased politics.
• Extended books – Called “asynchronous” classes.
– People can read content that is reviewed, edited, collaborations, and finished.
– The content customized, searchable, better deployed, sometimes organization specific, updated, with animations.
– The content includes testing and verification.

Emerging E-Learning Content
• Extended community – Every person is an author, and a user.
– Content is raw, divergent, peer to peer, contradictory, and immediate.
– Information, misinformation, and disinformation co-exist.
• Extended access to experts – People can gain more immediate access to people with deep knowledge.
– This content is pointed, represents only a single opinion, often inspirational, two-way, customized, textured, and interactive.
• Role-playing/ simulations– People take on problem solving roles in computer created environments.
– Content is prepackaged, often emotional, always available, rich, and consistent.
• Embedded help– Tools are given proactive embedded teaching capability, like spell-checkers,
intelligent forms.

The Industry Expectation for Simulations…
Similar to classroom.
Similar to extended books.
But better.

Niels Bohr's observation about quantum mechanics…
"If you think you understand it, you don't know the first thing about it.“
…holds (almost) true for simulations.
the first thing

Eight Learning Opportunities in Simulations
• Philosophy (organizing)• Overarching story (understanding)• Character feedback/AI (seeing)• Dialogue (listening)• Rules of behavior/physics (interacting)• Archetypical moments (experiencing)• Post meeting/game feedback (reflecting)• Manual (reading)
