The EnterTech Project was
envisioned to demonstrate the effectiveness
of simulation-based eLearning to rapidly
impart essential job skills. EnterTech
is designed to assist learners attain
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary
to enter, maintain, and succeed in entry-level
jobs.
EnterTechs employer-validated
learning goals are based on extensive
employer input, job profiling, and national
standards. The program provides practical
"on the job" experience through
simulated work tasks. Students interact
with virtual coworkers and supervisors
in an interactive narrative storyline
that changes based on student choice.
The work simulation and compelling
narrative drama combine with group projects,
workbook activities, and the support and
facilitation of an instructor to create
an integrated and interactive learning
environment, designed to promote both
a community of learning and individual
student success.
