Short Sims Creator Clark Aldrich
Clear. Action focused. Visual. Experiential. Engaging. Intuitive. Flexible. Sane.
Short Sims are short simulations that teach leadership, certification, sales, and management skills. They are quick to play (about 7 minutes), easy to deploy, and are more effective than traditional online content.
They build competence and conviction, not just awareness and analysis.
Short Sims—platform-independent, non-proprietary, and easily shared—changes the affordances of education yet feel familiar, because they mirror how we learn in the real world.
The creator of the pedagogy, Clark Aldrich, is the world's most experienced designer of educational simulations and an award-winning industry researcher.
