Immersive Simulation: The Replication of Environments to Practice Problem Solving

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Simulation is a form of instruction that has been used in a variety of different industries including clinical training for physicians and nurses, aviation, department of defense, weather, and customer service. Simulations have evolved throughout the decades from role-playing exercises, dramatizations, and task trainers to immersive simulations where exact replicas of real work environments are created for the sole purpose of training. This chapter explores the theoretical instructional design foundations that are helping revolutionize simulation in the fields of aviation and health care.
