The first, developed for teacher use, includes the following: teacher instructions; definitions of task and in-basket simulations; objectives (learning tasks); prior student experiences; necessary equipment, supplies, and resources; completion time; method of evaluation; definitions of terminology; pre-test with answer key; dialogue and instructions for five dictations (learning tasks); answer keys for five learning tasks; and worksheets. The second part, developed for student use, includes the following: objectives (learning tasks); prior student experiences; necessary equipment, supplies, and resources; description of simulation situation; instructions for five learning tasks; and worksheets.
