Session Objectives
This session will help you to:
– Describe the “when” and “why” of Complex Branching Immersive Learning Simulations for creating Engaged Learners
– “Wheels in Motion” - Going from Excel to Flash in mapping out complex decision trees - Walking the Timeline
– FlashExcel Simulation as an Imitation of REALITY – embedding real-life tools within the simulation
– Sim as a methodology for capturing and deploying Tacit Knowledge

What is a Humentum Simulation?
Humentum Simulations:
Base story line and decisions on desired experience / performance objectives
Use branching to guide story line events
Provide immediate decision feedback through story line events
Provide detailed decision feedback, both evaluative and variable-based
Employ multiple decision types
Provide Experiences:
• Learning-by-doing/Experiential learning
• Experience how decisions impact the broader team and organization in a risk-free environment
• “What if” scenarios foster and develop analytical skills and Problem Solving techniques
• Demonstrates impact of decisions in a compressed timeframe
• A context for participants to share experiences / learn with colleagues
• Using the power of storytelling to provide an immersive, experiential exercise

Simulations In Five Steps
1. Design Scorecard: Goals and Boundaries
2. Establish Storyline/Events: Challenges
3. Create Cast & Background: Context
4. Enable Triggering: Consequences
5. Apply Scoring: Outcomes

Draft • Initial pass – optimal path / stream of consciousness
• Text from coded simulation – distribute for editing
• Matrix of decisions and events – determine triggering
• Choices with point values – map to scorecard items
• Graphics, audio, video, animation – identify by filename
