I was with my 13 year nephew the other evening and he told me about a school situation. He was with some friends and asked their teacher when they would be learning the results of their test. The teacher said “what”/. They asked again when would they hearing about their test results. He said “what” again and then to their puzzlement he smiled and said “that wasn’t a test, that was a learning opportunity!”. I asked if I could borrow this story because it so resonated with me… Simulation . Simulation is just that…an amazing learning opportunity. In the structure of our program, we put a lot of weight on the learning opportunity and focused far less on consequences, unless there was continued problematic performance. But what is really key and crucial to the learning experience?
So, as I mentioned, we wanted to make learning fun… We borrowed from the principles of game-based learning in our simulation development.
