The Knowledge Fountain 7/E Advantage

Any organization that truly cares about their training and is determined to successfully use training simulations, would be well-advised to ensure that their requirements include all the factors in which we have defined as the '7/E's:

E¹ - Educational

Traditional e-learning utilizes pedagogical techniques called 'tell-test', in which students read blocks of online text, and then are given multiple choice or true/false tests to measure whether the knowledge 'stuck'. 7/E simulations employ a learn-by-doing approach, clearly a better educational approach.

E² - Effective

E-learning needs to be more effective. An extremely high percentage of traditional e-learning titles are never completed by the learner. Of those titles that are completed, levels of effectiveness in terms of retention and comprehension are quite low. 7/E simulations have superior retention, comprehension and completion rates.

E³ - Economical

Quality simulations can be enormously complicated and expensive to produce. 7/E simulations amplify your training return on investment, and can be delivered in a timely manner.

E⁴ - Entertaining

Most traditional e-learning experiences are just plain boring, especially with today's younger workers. 7/E simulations fully engage the learner, and increase the rates of retention, completion, comprehension, and time-to-competency.

E⁵ - Efficient

Current e-learning offerings are almost universally devoid of tutoring subsystems that incorporate scaffolding techniques. 7/E simulations provide dynamic allocation of tutoring resources based on student performance (scaffolding). The weaker the learner, the more tutoring that is applied, and conversely, the stronger learners get less tutorage.

E⁶ - Elastic

7/E simulations are highly customizable, and allow dynamic models to be created using content experts, existing e-learning and training materials, or derivatives from educational textbooks.

E⁷ - Essential

7/E simulations contain highly relevant content, presented within a specific context, and possess a high reality-of-function.
