  • The Only Training Metric that Matters
    There is only one training metric that matters: the person responsible for the training program gets promoted. Any other metric, be it smilesheets or increased organizational productivity, or stock price, is only ammunition.Now, clearly we need to tap into pure research. We need to pilot. But there are at least three reasons why this is the critical ... implementations and delivering real value.Finally, selfishly, I wear two hats, one as consultant, and one as simulation vendor. In either case, I don't want the email from someone who says, "You get it. I get it. Simulations are cool." I ...

  • Firing Students
    When should instructors fire students (ask students to no longer participate)?This is a more challenging issue in the corporate and government world, where training is more thought as a service, or a requirement, than the academic.This gets more interesting when simulations are introduced, and there is real work required from a student, not just showing up. Courses can also be several sessions, not just one.Some people view percentage who finish the course as a critical metric. And any pure e-learning course never automatically jettisons a student.But if students weakly approach a ...

  • SimWord of the Day: Rules
    We talked about ownership as being a concept that will eventually be as ubiquitously interpreted and applied in future educational simulations as guns and vehicles are in today's computer games.Another building concept that educational simulations will necessarily have to deal with are rules.Games are based on rules. Rules in games can be learned and even exploited, but not really broken.In real life, and in educational simulations, rules will take on a different role. There ... evaluated.This might be destabilizing an entire industry, rendering old metrics obsolete (or at least trying to). This might ...
