Discussion
So, Falcon 4.0 gamers are good at some
basic flight tasks in our sim…..
Amsterdam
Airport Schiphol
22
- how important are those tasks?
- these guys have been flying for
years
- have you seen the Falcon manual??
Discussion
Nevertheless…..
Amsterdam
Airport Schiphol
23
- they came close to pilot
performance
- hardware differences were easy to
overcome
- models and feedback system were
good enough to create learning
value
Discussion
Estalishing the learning value of a
game:

24
-analyze the game
- define what it could or should
teach
- create criterion tasks on ‘high
fidelity’ sim or operational
equipment
- find your existing (!) exeprimental
and/or control groups
