Just wanted to share this program in case anyone is interested in a discussion on Simulation Learning at Museums. Hope to see you online!

"One Good Thing" Webcast:  Simulation-Based Learning Experiences from a Cross-Departmental Perspective  Wednesday, July 31^st 2–3:30 p.m. (ET)  http://www.aam-us.org/resources/online-learning/simulation-based-learning-experiences

Experience the immersive Air Force One Discovery Center at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library through online presentation and discussion with colleagues from a range of professional perspectives. The Air Force One Discovery Center is designed to inspire the next generation of leaders, allowing students to face the responsibilities and challenges encountered by the Executive branch, military, and media, while engaging in a highly interactive exercise that fosters critical thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills. Discussion leaders will share the process of creating this interactive program, as well as offer research on the value of simulation learning or game-based museum learning experiences.

This program is party of a pilot EdCom Alliance series, “One Good Thing” featuring face-to-face and online professional development opportunities in which participants explore and learn more about a specific program/topic at a local host institution.

Who Should Attend

Cross-departmental teams are encouraged to attend including: museum educators, exhibitions planners, audience research and evaluation professionals, development staff, public programs staff, PR and marketing professionals, visitor services/experience staff, and museum directors or senior staff looking to develop or revise education-related programming pan-institutionally.

How Will I Benefit?

By participating in this program, attendees will be better able to:

• Consider the concept of employing simulations as part of an informal learning experience in their own institutions
• Discuss the broader implications of this type of experiential learning (or “role-play”) on the changing learning landscape
• Advocate for museums as essential educational institutions.
