How Simulations Are Used In Workshops
Simulation learning sequences
Typically, a business simulation is just one part of a complete e-learning program or workshop. Preparation, summarization, and testing are essential to help learners interpret and structure their experiences from the simulation.
There are different simulation learning sequences that can be built to achieve these objectives:
Classic learning sequence:
The classic learning sequence, with simulation is a simple structure that is familiar to most students. The way that we've presented PDA Sim here roughly follows this sequence, except that there is no test at the end.
Knowledge paced:
Knowledge paced sequences are good when the simulation needs to handle students with different backgrounds or skill levels. Students can advance to the level they find challenging. Students can play multiple times at one level.
Exploratory simulations:
Exploratory simulations are good for educating employees about major company changes or to provide an experience to students. The simulations are intended to provide users with an opportunity to experience what the future might be like for the company or organization.

Your PDA sim is very well done, informative, and engaging! I'm hooked ;-)
Yearly scenarios add complexity to this sim, would be great to see this it based on synchronous data from the world markets . . .
