ABSTRACT
Short Sims is a revolutionary new form of educational content, and the results have already been transformative. Short Sims can be created in the same time frame as linear content, such as traditional case studies, with the same work effort. They can also be edited, updated, and calibrated quickly. This means, for example, that a client can commission an online course, and the developer can add in Short Sims without significantly altering the delivery schedule or the budget. Short Sims has produced very high employee satisfaction scores and greater class completion rates in colleges compared to traditional media. The more students and instructors engage Short Sims, the Shorter Sims become their expectation for educational content. Short Sims combine the time frames and flexibility of traditional linear content with the engagement and “learning by doing” nature of educational simulations.
