Educational Games and Application Silmulations
 
 

Do we need to elaborate the point that gaming can lead to faster and more efficient acquisition of learning? To add to this, recent research in cognitive and learning psychology has revealed that audience of all target groups love learning the gaming way.

We at Scadea have the adequacy to bind the substance of gaming in learning. The wide variety of online learning games that we can offer to create include:

Education and learning games
Public policy games
Political and social games
Business games
Advertising and branding games

Simulated Learning Content

Simulations of real-life environments are catching up fast recognition the knowledge industry. Imagine a learner airplane pilot learning how to fly an airplane in the real environment. Not every learner would then take this risk. Alternatively, learning on a flight simulator would definitely be a better and safer way to learn flying.

Simulation-based learning motivates learners to learn more effectively, by offering the learners the opportunity to compare reality with simulations, collaborate the two with each other, and give them opportunity to learn from curiosity.

Some examples of the different types of simulated learning that we can create include:

Virtual Dissection Laboratories
Virtual Microelectronics Laboratories
Chemical Reactors
Mechanics and Physics Laboratories
Heat Exchanger Dynamics
Crystallization
Mechanical and Thermal Engineering Laboratories
Flight Simulators

Application Simulations

It’s fairly easy to learn on the job when you are working on stand-alone software applications. However, imagine a situation where you are working on a distributed software application, where any changes you make impact numerous locations across the globe. A way to solve this problem is to provide an instructor led training to train the learners. Research and feedback; however; reveal that instructor led training is not sufficient enough to induce learning in such a situation. In consequence, it leaves a reinforcement gap that retards the on-job performance.

Application simulations come real handy in such cases. We at Scadea are equipped to design and develop complex application simulations by leveraging technologies such as Macromedia. We help create application simulations by using Flash or Java scripts that help the learners get a real-life feel while working on the simulations. And this is of course supplemented by the fearlessness of impacting the live application in any way.
