Simulations

Because simulations simplify reality or amplify details, they can be more conducive to learning than some real environments. They have the advantages of convenience, safety, and controllability over real experiences, and they are useful for giving learners experiences that are otherwise impossible.

Fidelity is one of many factors to consider when design a simulation game. To what degree that the level of fidelity affects initial learning and transfer of learning? How closely the simulation should imitate the reality?
