Do you work for the "Overmanaged Organization"? The Passive-Aggressive organization? Which organization "has scores of smart, motivated, and talented people, but they rarely pull in the same direction at the same time"?While this simulator from Booz & Co. might not be sophisticated enough to craft your next five-year plan from, I think it could start some really interesting discussions.

... content that included a scenario, a game, a simulation and a quiz. If this was the definition then it would not move us forward, but that's not what I proposed. To fit my definition, you would have to go further to mix methods in a number of social contexts, i.e. not all group learning, not all self-study and not all one-to-one. Mark's second point is right on the mark. My definition is clearly aimed at the design of educational or training interventions, and so would more appropriately be described as blended teaching, blended training or something similar ...

Clive on Learning - Thursday, July 3, 2008 - CommentsBehavioral Modeling and Simulation
The National Research Council recently came out with a rather lengthy book on modeling individual through group level behaviors and cultural variables. This is a very big topic in the Government right now. One of their chapters was on "Games" and how they could contribute as a tool for social and organizational modeling. Specifically, they were looking at MMOGs. While I don't recommend the entire book for the casually-interested (the book is geared primarely for the Department of Defense Modeling and Simulation community), the chapter on games was interesting. The council considered ...

Learning Design and Performance Improvement - Monday, June 30, 2008 - CommentsEngineering Data Visualization
Last Summer Second Life was all the rage in the popular media. In fact, one of the most linked (and found) pages on this blog are the Second Life Tutorials (more SL posts). However, as much as SL gathered media attention, the bigger interest for most of us was the discipline of engineering simulation and data visualization. While conducting some research recently, I became aware of an excellent visualization seminar series from Duke University. Like most research ... one link led to another ... which led to another, etc. Thus, here are the fruits of my labor with brief descriptions ...

The first of these models I call, The Learning Landscape.
