Effectiveness of Virtual Human Role-Players

PeopleSim^® technology aligns with evidence-based criteria for high-fidelity simulations.

Features of Effective Simuations

Active User Participation

Skill building requires putting knowledge into practice. Realistic role-plays with PeopleSim characters keep learners actively involved.

Multiple Learning Strategies

Learners are free to explore educational content and conversation topics in any order. Difficulty can scale up or down for an appropriate challenge.

Freedom to Make Mistakes without Harm

Fear of mistakes can stifle exploration. Our systems allow for private, self-paced, stress-free practice where mistakes help learners grow.

Accurate Representation of Content

The best training relates directly to real experience. We work side-by-side with expert panels on true-to-life scripts and content that match the latest curricula.

Extensive Feedback

Feedback supports learners as they develop and hone their skills. Our characters, help coach, after-action review and transcript help learners improve at every step.

Repetitive Practice of Skills

Skill mastery takes time and practice. Our systems allow for hours and hours of non-repetitive practice so skills develop and generalize to new contexts.

Flexibility for Every Environment

Fits Any Learning Environment

Our solutions are equally appropriate for solo home or office use, classroom demonstrations, or blended solutions with solo/small group play, group demos, and/or discussion. The robust scoring features in the after-action review make systems feasible as assessment tools to be integrated in any learning management system. Whatever an organization needs from its training, our solutions can make a vital contribution.

Fits Any Learning Style

Some methodical players want to read every line of educational material before beginning the role-play; others would rather jump into the role-play and read the educational materials after the fact to assess problems. Some focus on the feedback in the after-action review; others rely on the real-time feedback from the help coach during the role-play. Our solutions give players the freedom to approach the system the way that works best for their learning style.
