Managing a crisis is a difficult matter and it’s harder still when a person has only read the guidelines they’re meant to follow.
Employees get hands-on without ever leaving their seats
If people aren’t able to adequately respond to a situation or understand how to operate job-specific machinery, it could spell disaster for others.
Companies learning more with simulation endeavors
There are some things that a book can’t adequately convey and a teacher can’t completely impart on a student.
New wave of simulations helps healthcare workers
Hands-on training in the medical profession is essential to fully understanding how the job is done, but when a life may be on the line, trial by fire may not be the best solution.
Military training upgraded and made safer with new methods
The integration of electronics and new media into the armed forces has called on field technicians and officers to gain a familiarity with these tools, as well as opened new doors for simulation development to enhance training opportunities.
Oil workers get hands-on training
Simulator development is helping workers in dangerous professions get valuable training before diving into the job.
New immersive simulation educates machinists
Simulation development has reached a new level with software that provides users the opportunity to interact with complex machines in a realistic 3D environment.
Driving simulation teaches potential dangers
Rather than put young drivers on the road before they have practiced and learned the rules of the road simulation development is helping to enhance education before a student sits behind a real steering wheel.
The value of experience in educating
For some it may seem intuitive that doing is one of the best ways to learn. However, a recent study by BTS USA confirms that the best strategy for effective learning is to let employees constructively implement recently required knowledge.
DARPA is looking for new medical training
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced an open call to game and Apple developers to help engineer new medical training software.
