Online learning solutions have to take into account that corporate audiences are now tech-savvy and want their learning to be also aligned to the technology that they access everyday. That is why traditional custom e-learning courses have to now deliver more than just information which is electronically available. Interactivity and motivation for learners are thus high priority in the e-learning industry.

It is a fact that we gather and process information using our senses but it is through 'doing' that we actually learn. Simulation-based e-learning a mode of training can provide the learners an opportunity to 'do' in the virtual world. But e-learning developers are often not sure about How and When to create simulations for learning. We share a few examples to show Simulations can be utilized to create impactful learning solutions:

To create a training module on Software or process trainings, simulations can be very useful. Learners can learn about different features of the software or process through a simulation. They can try out the workings and change or tweak responses if they get it wrong- giving them an opportunity to practice their skills as well as learn from their mistakes. Different levels of interactivity can be built in to provide more excitement as well as increase the proficiency of the learners as per the demand of their work.

Simulations can also provide the learners with scenarios and encourage them to intervene to determine the further course of action. This increases their critical thinking skills. Each decision is crucial for getting to the final outcome and through multiple tries the learners observe the consequences of their actions. These simulation creases the cognitive skills too - as the learners are forced to think about a situation and are accountable for the outcomes. This is how it happens in real life as well - so the learning truly its home! The learners listen, view or read about a scenario, often describing a conflict among individuals. Even when the learner chooses his or her own path and is responsible for the final outcome, it is important to stress that even the undesired outcomes are not 'wrong'. The consequences of these to provide a learning opportunity.

Microworlds can also be created to present the learners with a virtual representation of a real environment. Simulations within the microworld provide learners the opportunity to physically interact with the elements of the virtual environment and learn from their experiences. Through 3D environment the virtual world can be made to look real and life-like. Interactivities within this world like 'click and drop' or 'placing' objects can build physical as well as cognitive skills. In addition it also builds the confidence of the learners. Though the virtual world might be initially unfamiliar for the learners, they are able to quickly adapt to the training. The worth of practical expertise the simulations provide the 'push' that they need for learning through a virtual learning space.

Simulations are extremely successful in the world of corporate training and are now being utilized to cater to the training needs of a variety of learners with diverse learning needs.
