Participants will discuss how to promote learning and performance within a mobile workforce that is separated by time, space, and context. The workshop will demonstrate and elaborate on the affordances of mobile simulation for promoting seamless formal and informal learning experiences and increasing human performance. Focus will be on best practices for design, development, and strategy. In addition to ubiquitous mobile content delivery and assessment channels (e-mail, voice, text messages, web, and mobile apps), emerging technologies and capabilities such as context-awareness, mobile 3D, and augmented reality are expanding the potential applications of mobile simulation. Participants will 1) see current government and military examples, 2) explore key technological features and design characteristics unique to mobile, and 3) develop their own mobile strategy capable of bridging formal and informal contexts. The workshop will cover information necessary to build and implement a cohesive design and development strategy for seamless mobile training and simulation and will also include a hands-on exercise. Participants will be exposed to innovation management through principals of lean startup methodology, also used by the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps. The workshop will focus on understanding the criteria for a viable new technology in the market.to build and implement a cohesive design and development strategy for seamless mobile training and simulation and will also include a hands-on exercise.
