Simulations and Learning: Dialog and Directions

Abstract

This paper describes a basis for a panel discussion and workshop focusing on aspects of participant learning in simulations. Fifteen types of independent variables are identified as possible bases for examining learning. These provide an opening framework for discussion of on-going and possible learning investigations. The objective is to foster commitment to research focusing on simulation learning. Participants in the panel portion of the workshop are Joseph Wolfe, Jerry Gosen, Precha Thavikulwat, Phil Anderson and John Washbush.
