Activities
 

• Develop and maintain a resource data bank of theories and practices related to effective management and facilitation of simulations used for learning.

• Support Simulation Australia activities in influencing governments and education authorities in regard to understanding, developing and using simulations for educational purposes.

• Working in conjunction with the Professional Development Committee, this SIG provides events and resources for Simulation Australia members to support their professional development needs.

• Such events may include:
  • Online and face to face
  • Meetings on topics of interest to members
  • Collaborative research projects to extend and improve community awareness of contributions that simulation makes to skill and knowledge development
  • Practical skills seminars

• Provide opportunities for members to access research and other information relevant to the use of simulation in the industry.

• Support development of activities that focus on the design and use of simulations and games for instruction and learning.

• Sponsor and support research based projects focused on skill and knowledge development for:
  • Learning facilitators
  • Learning and development professionals
  • Human factors specialists
  • Others engaged in the use of simulation for learning

• While this SIG is for anyone whose focus in on the learning process involved in the use of simulation rather than on a specific industry context, it is also for those who are concerned with all aspects of human factors in simulation.

• Development and publication of resources for those intending to facilitate learning via any form of simulation or game based activity.

• Work with members and leadership teams of other SIG’s to extend and promote effective training of users of simulation in regard to human factors and learning goals and outcomes.
