DESIGNING A SIMULATION-ENABLED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
_AREAS OF INTEREST: SIMULATION, EDUCATION, TRAINING, LEARNING_
DATE: 26 & 27 JANUARY 2020
PRICE: $1,750
ABOUT THE COURSE
This course will enable organisations currently undertaking their
training by traditional methods to develop more effective
simulation-enabled scenario-based learning. The course will be
particularly useful for organisations that have high training
overheads or are currently delivering learning that relies on
expensive equipment and/or potentially dangerous work environments. At
the end of the course participants should be able to:
* Understand how to design a simulation-enabled learning
environment.
* Gain awareness of the unique issues that apply to the design of a
simulation-enabled learning environment and how to mitigate them.
* Understand the critical criteria which encompass both the
effectiveness and restrictions of using simulation technologies when
designing and developing learning environments using simulation.
* Effectively plan and execute the design of a learning environment
using simulation that promotes efficient and effective training
outcomes with results consistent with planned goals and outcomes.
TOPICS COVERED
* UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR THE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT; using
training needs analysis to guide design, identifying the competencies
to be achieved and developing both broad and specific measurable
objectives.
* DEFINING THE STRUCTURE OF THE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT; how to select
the format of the environment, the level of immersion that is required
and provide an understanding of how to identify the relevant levels of
fidelity required for the various elements.
* DEVELOPMENT OF THE REQUIRED TRAINING CONTENT; development of
quality scenarios, the need to allow for differing levels of knowledge
and experience and the identification of the critical actions needed
to ensure the outcomes are achieved.
* DEVELOPING THE BRIEFING AND EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS; development
of pre-briefing processes, establishing planned feedback during
training and debriefing following training. It will cover the
development of an evaluation framework to support feedback and
debriefing.
* VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF THE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT; methods
for testing the training environment to identify not just incorrect
elements, but also any underdeveloped or unclear elements.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Personnel responsible for the development and delivery of learning
across academia, industry (including registered training
organisations) and government, including:
* Education Managers
* Learning & Development Managers
* Simulation Managers
* Training Managers
* Academics
PRESENTERS
STEVEN WATT. _BSc(Hons) Engineering with Business Studies, Portsmouth
University, UK_
Steven has spent most of his career working within the training and
simulation domain with extensive recent and relevant at the Department
of Defence and prior to that working on simulation systems and
products within Industry. He has experience of the complete range of
uses of modelling and simulation from simplistic desktop constructive
simulation exercises; through desktop trainers to full flight
simulators providing aircrew training, to large scale combined arms
trainers which involve several hundred service personnel engaged in a
live, virtual and constructive training environment.
GREG AKHURST MA. Arts (Strategy) University of New England
Greg Akhurst has a proven record of successful leadership and delivery
across multiple domains. As an Army Officer, a Senior Associate in
Industry and more recently as an Executive Level Public Servant he has
developed a unique and seldom seen cross sector level of expertise and
experience. Greg is highly skilled at strategic planning, defence
capability development, operational management and innovation
initiation. He is a respected leader in the Modelling and Simulation
community in Australia, particularly in developing programs of
commercial opportunity for domestic industry development and the
sponsorship of innovation programs
