Simulation-Based Learning

Decades of research have shown that people can significantly improve decision making skills and the retention of task knowledge when they learn in the context of doing. As a result, demand for computer-based simulation capabilities enabling “learn by doing” has been steadily increasing.

Corporate, military and government applications of simulation-based learning include:

• emergency response team training and incident management;

• equipment assembly, maintenance and repair;

• 3D product demonstrations and visualizations;

• tactical operations training and mission rehearsal; and

• corporate sales and customer service training.
