Join thought leader and eLearning guru Clark Aldridge as he shares his thoughts on the learning Games and Simulation design arena.

Many conversations about simulations seize up due to conflicting definitions, expectations, and experiences. Meanwhile, others have brought together simulation, game, and pedagogical elements into highly powerful and effective training experiences. We’ll discuss the top four simulation types used in enterprises and schools today, and learn when, where, and why they make sense. Using many examples, you will see some surprising themes between all of them, and how they are combining with other experiences including role-plays, computer games, marketing games, and flight simulators to start redefining formal education in the emerging future.
