Polikarpus, Stella; Luik, Piret; Poom-Valickis, Katrin; Ley, Tobias – Vocations and Learning, 2023
Virtual simulations (VS) are gaining more popularity in vocational education and training (VET) to train professional competencies. However, implementing VS into organisations requires the involvement of trainers in, and the development of their knowledge to fulfil a meaningful approach to integrating this technology into teaching. In the Estonian…

Tichon, Jennifer; Diver, Phil – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2012
The popularity of simulators to augment training programs for operators of heavy machinery has been growing across several industries including mining, rail and more recently construction. High-fidelity, interactive simulation is typically achieved through complete immersion in brief, stressful and complex VR scenarios. The use of simulation…

CACTUS: Command and Control Training Using Knowledge-Based Simulations.
Hartley, J. R.; And Others – Interactive Learning International, 1992
Describes a computer simulation, CACTUS, that was developed in the United Kingdom to help police with command and control training for large crowd control incidents. Use of the simulation for pre-event planning and decision making is discussed, debriefing is described, and the role of the trainer is considered. (LRW)
