Experiential Learning creates unique opportunities for participants to reflect and grow.
Feedback reports are one way to help generate data-driven insights based on learners' inputs and choices. Depending upon the desired learning outcomes and overall sim design, these reports can contain a variety of types of “feedback” (i.e. scores earned, competitive data, customized insights, personalized recommendations, reflective prompts, etc.)
Real-time assessment
Delivering meaningful feedback at the end of each round allows participants the opportunity to see how successful they were in making decisions that best align to the simulation’s pre-defined scoring criteria.
Reveal impacts of decision making
Stimulate reflection on choices made and promote the synthesis of distinct ideas, perspectives, and opportunities for improvement.
Shorter-term Insights and longer-term evaluation
Like the real-world, end-of-round scoring feedback provides shorter-term insights while cumulative round-over-round feedback allows for longer-term evaluation.
A common way to implement this is to have each round scored independently and each subsequent round combined to show cumulative results.
Customized for outcomes
Scoring information is dynamically displayed through various feedback reports via the simulation and is customized to the desired learning outcomes.
Example Reports
Types of reports:
Participant - embedded within the course
Facilitator - accessible through the Dashboard
Feedback types:
Scores earned
Competitive data
Customized insights
Personalized recommendations
Reflective prompts
Build Options:
DIY PageBuilder - Endless options to display your results in multiple formats and configurations!
Templates - Network Maps and Decision Reports
Page Builder DIY Variations - Participant Reports
Purpose: Participants use these dynamic displays at the completion of each round to explore how their decisions exemplify or reinforce the course's scoring criteria.
Network Map Template - For Participants
Purpose: Participants use this dynamic display at the completion rounds to explore how their decisions impact the strength of their relationships.
TIP! Include a Network Map in your simulation to promote systemic thinking and encourage balance amongst stakeholder relationships.
Dashboard Facilitator Reports
The data derived from decision-making in a simulation can provide insights into learners’ thought processes and content knowledge. Facilitators combine this information with powerful debrief discussions, leading participants to self-generated ah-ha’s and realized learning outcomes.
Dashboard Decision Report Template - For Facilitators
Purpose: Facilitators use this dynamic decision report to see what choices were made by each individual/team throughout the simulation.
