Simulation: bringing e-learning to a new level (TrainingWatch): "The concept behind computer-based simulation in e-learning is simple, and compelling: Practice makes perfect. Pioneered in the 1970s by the military and airlines, simulation training has since become part of the training regimen for nuclear engineers, telecom technicians, and financial forecasters--disciplines where making a mistake in the real world can be costly. And increasingly, e-learning vendors and corporate training departments are applying that logic to mainstream business skills such as team building, project management, consultative sales, customer service, and strategic thinking."
