The Myths and Realities of Simulations in Performance Technology.
Thiagarajan, Sivasailam
Educational Technology, v38 n5 p35-41 Sep-Oct 1998
Examines misconceptions about simulations for performance technology concerning what they reflect, varieties, uses (instruction, awareness, performance assessment, team building, transfer, research, therapy), levels of fidelity, design approaches, formats (graphic models; card, race, and cyclical games; interactive fiction; production simulations; role playing; virtual reality), and what is learned. Outlines 12 guidelines for designing and using simulations. (PEN)
