  7. How Does It Work? • Simulations • Interactivity • Testing • Bookmarks • Database • Customization

  8. How Does It Work? • Simulations • Customer-employee situations • Military simulations • Nuclear meltdowns

  9. How Does It Work? • Interactivity • Performance-based not knowledge- based • “Driving a car” • End of section quizzes • Straight Shooter* * Rothfeder, Jeffery
