U.S. education market is $750 billion (Credit Suisse First Boston,
2003). More money is spent in the United States on education than in
any other industry with the exception of health care. Annual
expenditures are more than Social Security and defense
combined. (Glakas, National Council of Higher Education Loan

institutions need to
transform
organizational
systems and
instructional
practices to take
greater advantage of
new technology,
including
educational games.

82. Recommendation #1: Increase emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of new learning technologies
and approaches to designing and implementing such systems. Use an adaptive learning approach that
integrates real world problems, data, processes and systems; empirical research and human performance;
and instructional design and delivery. The key is to integrate empirical research into the design and
implementation of new modes of learning in order to inform future selection and variation of learning systems.
This requirement is also shared by the US Department of Education (DOE) and the National Science
Foundation (NSF) in its efforts toward educational reform especially in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Tuesday, 11 December 2007
Through presentations from academic, industrial and military simulation experts, 43 teachers were introduced
to the world of simulation and its related technologies. As part of the program, the teachers visited the
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference at the Orange County Convention Center,
were given physics simulation
software to use in their classrooms, and had the opportunity to experience hands-on lessons about the
Modeling, Simulation & Training (MS&T) industry.
