EnterTech: Self-running Simulation Examples

Self-running Examples of EnterTech Training

Learners enrolled in EnterTech training are treated as new hires of the EnterTech Corporation, a computer manufacturing company. The examples below are part of EnterTech's on-the-job, real-world simulations. They are accessed via a Web browser. Skills and lessons learned while interacting with virtual co-workers are extended into classroom projects.

Note the different co-workers that learners interact with in these modules. Diverse virtual backgrounds set the stage for learners to meet and work with typical company peers, supervisors, and customers. Research shows that learners identify with and relate to their virtual co-workers.

This example introduces learners to the modules and tasks they will encounter during the 15 hours of Web-based simulation and 10 hours of classroom projects about work in this area of the company. Specific job skills as well as the concepts of quality standards, safety, and teamwork are stressed throughout.

This exercise requires learners to find out what each tool does, how it fits into the overall workflow of company production, and listen to verbal instructions. Virtual co-workers react with thanks or frustration when learners hand them tools.

An explanation of how sales tax is calculated is one example of math exercises incorporated into training in a natural way to give these topics more meaning for learners. Instructors can follow individual progress in a networked environment and provide real-time remedial exercises for skill development.

Estimating is a second example of math exercises incorporated into training in a natural way to give these topics more meaning for learners. Instructors can follow individual progress in a networked environment and provide real-time remedial exercises for skill development.

Decision points are woven throughout EnterTech training. The combination of watching a moment for decision unfold, listening to voiceover choices, reading, and discussing possible decisions makes this training method extremely effective.

Here's a task that focuses learners on organization skills, interpretation skills, and math skills. Tasks like this are incorporated throughout EnterTech training to teach and reinforce skills.

Many task during training are both informative and fun. This one focuses on job skills and personal skills. EnterTech incorporates a variety of personality types into the virtual co-workers met throughout the training experiences.
