Simulation and skills development

I've been trying to understand better where simulation fits within the skills development process and whether simulation is the only/best option available to trainers and/or learners.

From a learning and ... easy to attain, that employees could skip all the preliminaries and just learn by doing the job for real. On the ...

San Francisco and Los Angeles as different (but complementary) models for Formal Learning
There continues to be a movement in corporate formal learning programs to uber-empower the learner and focus the role of content designers to a more infrastructure role. Google and Instant Messenger are the perfect model for many. And I mostly agree with this "Bay Area" position. But I also believe that "Passionate learners come from Passionate designers." Call it the "Los Angeles" take. The best movies, television shows, books, and computer games come from people ... involved in, and watching, this passion around content is one reason why the educational simulation/ serious games ...
