Understanding what hybrid space is, much less understanding what happens in that virtual realm, can raise difficult questions. For example, our campus's question "How do we define hybrid?" has kept us busy and guessing for over a year now. In this article, we offer a few suggestions on how to proceed with hybrid issues, including how to deal with…

Situation awareness is defined as an evaluative product based on expert performance criteria. This article examines the importance of training simulation systems in developing situation awareness, focusing on high fidelity procedural training, expert knowledge and experience, and attitude and emotional state. Discusses other related issues. (68…

A discussion of possible uses of computer simulation in high schools and colleges when direct experimental experience is not available to the student. Sample runs of three simulation programs are also presented. (AK)

A report on the findings of an evaluation of the use of computer simulation packages in secondary schools. (Author)

A unified approach to model building is developed from the separate techniques of regression, simulation, and factorial design. The methodology is applied in the context of a suburban school district. (Author/LS)

Analyzes instructional simulation games as systems of communication in which information is transmitted by game designers to players via channels such as scenarios, rules, and other players. Particular attention is given to the process whereby theoretical messages are encoded by game designers into game stories and then are decoded by players back…

Reviews literature on computer-based training in industry over 20 years. Studies reviewed are organized by training application into three groups--basic computer-assisted instruction systems, supplemented computer-assisted instruction with simulation and graphics modes, and simulators. Time savings, user attitudes, cost savings, and performance…
