A simulation is a representation of a system presented over time. Simulations have
advantages over real operational systems in training, including: elimination of
catastrophic consequences of error; reduction of physical danger; cost containment;
elimination of non-salient attributes; "re-play" possibilities; compression or expansion
of time; iterative manipulation of variables for evolving design and data collection.
The goal of the
ADL Initiative is to integrate simulations into the workflow
of distributed learning and reduce barriers to effective implementation in support
of learning and performance enhancement.
