“Give pupils something to do.” —John Dewey
Simulations as the Doing
Simulations allow the learner to do a hands on task in a safe environment. The learner actually does the steps using their mouse, rather than their hands, in the correct order to safely complete the workflow without any risk of harming a customer or the customer’s order.
The learner "picks up" the roll (on the left), scans it, and is prompted to perform the next action.
Here the learner picks up the scanner in order to scan their badge.
