Who should attend: Information & Knowledge Management professionals

Description:

When it comes to effective learning, it's better to engage all the senses. Interactive learning activities like simulations put employees in virtual yet authentic situations where they learn the skills and material while also making decisions and getting immediate feedback on their choices. Immersive learning simulation is the term used to refer to simulations which have a competitive or gaming aspect to them. Information & Knowledge Management professionals must custom develop most immersive learning simulations today, though some learning vendors offer off-the-shelf simulated courses and some provide simulation authoring tools that allow in-house development.

Agenda:

• Simulations are a better way to learn because they engage the learner more than most training approaches.
• Many kinds of simulations exist — from simple linear learning of a software application to sophisticated flight simulations.
• Lessons learned from companies that are using simulations

Technical requirements:

An Internet connection and a one-time download of the WebEx™ Player are required.
