How Educational Simulations Validate Student Work, Measure Performance, and Provide Evidence of Learning #

There are three challenges educators have always faced. Online learning made them harder. AI has made them impossible to ignore.

1. Proof of Work
2. Proof of Performance
3. Evidence of Learning

In the video below, I show how I design educational simulations to address all three.

I've refined this approach over nearly 30 years of instructional design, and it has been used by thousands of instructors with millions of students.

The examples shown are from business education, but the methodology is flexible enough to work across virtually any subject, educational setting, or instructional model.

Method 1 — Using real-time play

Simulation Example: Small Business Simulation

Method 2 — Using strategic assessment

Simulation Example: Sports & Entertainment Management Simulation
