Virtual Warriors Push the Envelope
15028 Paul Roman (RMC 1985), associate professor in the Department of business Administration
“I thought gamers were from Mars and trainers were from Venus… But then we adapted a tank simulator game for a training exercise, and the results startled me. We went from 75 percent to 95 percent effective in only about half the time it would have taken for live training alone. We now see virtual world training as the road to high readiness, and that we’re at the beginning of an experiential learning renaissance.”
