Instructional Design Methods

• Cognitive task analysis research paper (CTA techniques are required to develop training simulations)
• Cognitive task analysis resources (more research and application papers)
• Human Performance Converging Technologies Report (think globally to develop the optimum solution)
• Survey of learning models (you don't have to reinvent the wheel with this site linking to definitions, techniques, and examples of nearly every learning methodology ever invented.)

Online Training Simulation Examples

• Leadership in Action (a simple team leadership simulation using the Forio simulation generator)
• Virtual Leader (a leadership simulation by SimuLearn)
• eLearning Centre Game-Based Training Resources

Simulation and Games Generators

• Forio simulation generator (Forio proves that spreadsheet-based simulations can be used for a variety of skills)
• SimWriter (a social skills simulation generator)
• Verisim (software for generating simulations for end-user system training)

Classroom Training Simulation and Game Resources

• Work Based Assessment of Clinical Competence (article by John Norcini about using simulations for assessing clinicians)
• Thiagi's Training Game Resources

Colleagues and Networks

• Center for Advanced Learning Technologies (CALT)
• Duke University Healthcare Simulation Center
• Carol Haig - Performance improvement opportunity analysis
• International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI)
• North American Simulation and Gaming Association (NASAGA)

We have compiled a bibliography listing training simulation research, articles, and books, which we can provide without obligation. Some resources are available online:
