What Are Learning Simulations?

Learning simulations are interactive training experiences that mimic real-world environments, tasks, or decision-making scenarios. Instead of passively consuming information, learners practice skills, solve problems, and experience consequences in a safe, controlled digital environment.

How Learning Simulations Work

Learning simulations typically involve:

• Realistic scenarios based on workplace situations
• Interactive elements (choices, tools, actions, tasks)
• Feedback systems showing results and consequences
• Branching paths depending on learner decisions
• Performance tracking integrated with an LMS

They can be 2D, 3D, VR-based, or fully gamified, depending on the training goals.
