Information about selecting the type of simulation to suit your needs

Types of Business Simulation

This explores the simulation process and describes the types of computer business simulations simulations.

 

Ways of Using Simulation

This lists ways of using simulations for training etc., briefly describes these and then  provides links to explore individual uses in detail

Learning Needs Model

This explores the learning needs of managers and how computer business simulations address these. It is based on an analysis of some two thousand runs of simulations on management development courses over more than twenty-five years coupled with discussions with trainers and human resource executives around the world.

Adult (andragogic) Learning Model

This explores how adult learners differ from learners in school and university. And how andragogic learning differs from pedagogic instruction and how simulations meet these needs.

 

Teaching Methods & Retention

This explores how different teaching methods provide different levels of retention.

The "Learning Ladder"

A conceptual view of learning that focuses on business success. Starting from a bottom run of knowledge acquisition, it climbs through gaining experience, developing wisdom and practicing decision-making to the top rung of business success. It is a model that, in business terms, helps define a taxonomy of learning to develop managers.

Managerial Competency Models

This explores several models of managerial competency used on assessment and development centres and how simulation was used in the assessment process.

Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle

This model is a foundation to the business simulation process. This page explores Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle and how it relates to the simulation decision-making cycle and the potential risks.

Bloom's Taxonomy

This page explores a hierarchy of cognitive learning needs and its implication in terms of types of business learning and simulation.

You don't need special hardware for elearning - but it helps!

E-learning and Computer Aided Management Education

This page explores the differences and synergies between e-learning and Computer Aided Management Education

Team Learning Model

This explores the team learning model and how this is most appropriate to adult learning and the higher levels of learning. A model where the different knowledge and experience sets of individual learners enriches the learning process and where the need to present, promote and negotiate embeds learning.

Tutor Managed Learning Model

This explores the role of the trainer in terms of administration, facilitation and the proactive management of learning. A role that delegates the authority for learning to the learners leaving the tutor to proactively manage and lead the learning process.

A Learning Management Grid

This page explores the key skills, knowledge and experience for people using business simulations for management development and business training

The Knowledge Spiral

This page explores how a learning organization moves in a spiral between tacit and explicit knowledge and back again. And, it discusses these transformation processes in terms of people, technology and simulation.

Deep Smarts

An article and book that discuss "How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Wisdom"

Systems Dynamics Process Model

This explores the learning process in terms of a feedback model comprising three dynamics - workload, cognition & affection

Tutor Support System

This explores the role of the simulation software to support the trainer and the training process in terms of administration, facilitation and learning management support.

Corporate Cartooning Paradigm

This explores the verisimilitude of the simulation model in terms of two paradigms - the Hunter-Gatherer (positivist) paradigm and the Corporate Cartooning (constructionist) paradigm.

The Rock Pool Method™

This explores how our design methodology. And through this meets learning needs in a lean and agile manner. A methodology that won the best paper award at the 2005 ABSEL Conference.

Lean Learning

This explores one of our key design principles - leanness,
