Training and educational programs are now incorporating stand-alone and PC-based simulations and games to enhance human performance by allowing students to learn by "doing" with guided practice and immediate feedback. The result has been a growing demand for simulation, game-based training, and instructional systems across sectors. The graduate certificate in Instructional Design for Simulations takes an interdisciplinary approach to prepare instructional designers, human resource personnel, and training specialists in corporate, industry, and educational settings to design training and educational simulations and games, addressing both the technical and the instructional aspects of stand-alone and PC-based desktop applications.
