iii. The questions can be distributed to other class participants
who can offer feedback in the classroom or later via e-mail.
iv. The value of the classroom for the practice of principle-based
work is the ability to provide feedback to responses that are
never clearly right or wrong, to generate alternatives, and to
foster collaborative working environments that can extend
beyond the training setting
Designing Computer Simulations for Practice of Principles
i. Simulations also can be used in training of principles
ii. A simulation is a scaled-down enactment of reality in which the
components will respond in accordance with the principles
iii. Simulating scientific and mathematical principles works
well
iv. Simulations are useful for practice-applying principles in
situations that are dangerous, rare, expensive, time-
consuming, or otherwise unfeasible in the normal training
setting
v. They also allow learners to accelerate their skills by
confronting or solving a number of problem scenarios that
would rarely occur in the workplace and/ or that would take
considerable time to complete
Blended Solutions: The Best of Both Worlds
i. Effective training delivery today will use the best mix of
media to deliver those methods most suited to the
instructional goal
ii. Thus for principle-based instruction, much of the informational
portion of the learning could be effectively and inexpensively
handled online in asynchronous e—learning
15. Performance Support for Far-Transfer Tasks
