Dawson, Rod – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1991
Discussion of participative learning strategies that can be used in training focuses on the need for the trainer to adapt to unexpected events, whether they involve equipment or learners. The achievement of instructional objectives is discussed, characteristics of experts are described, and three examples of training sessions with unexpected…

Gibbs, Graham – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1983
Describes a step-by-step procedure for undertaking role play in interpersonal skills training which uses trainerless groups of three to reduce threat and make giving and receiving of personal feedback easier. Briefs used by role plays (consultant, client, observer), setting up triads, undertaking role plays, and additional ground rules are noted.…
