Electronic simulations and workplace applications

The trend of employers taking an interest in Web 2.0 appears to be continuing.

An article in the CIPD's People Management magazine discusses how employers are using such technologies for mock-ups, or electronic simulations used for workplace applications ranging from sophisticated business games to psychometric testing.

Further details:

Simulations have long been a favourite in the learning manager’s toolkit – whether it’s role-playing a call from an angry customer or carrying out flipchart-based team exercises to solve a problem.

But technological advances have made it possible to create electronic simulations (sims) that, according to their enthusiasts, are more realistic, compelling and versatile than their traditional predecessors – thereby producing better outcomes.
