| At Simlog, each Personal Simulator is carefully developed in collaboration with training professionals, leading OEMs, their dealers, and owner/operators to ensure that the right tasks are simulated and that for each one, the simulated work is measured in the right way. | Simlog's Added Value |

At the start, the simulator-based work is easy to do, so the "trials" (simulation exercises) are completed quickly. As a result, there is lots of feedback from the simulation software. Later, the simulator-based work is much harder, the trials take much longer to complete, and so the feedback is much less "immediate". In this way, our instructional design changes both the duration of the exercises and the frequency of the feedback provided, just like a good coach.
Practically, these results are displayed until "clicked away", to start the next simulation exercise. So at the start, people can take all the time they need to review the results. Later, as performance improves, just a quick glance is sufficient and so the results can be clicked away much sooner. In this way, the feedback provided can change as the simulator-based training advances.
Practically, making a "small" mistake such as hitting the sideboard of a (simulated) articulated truck with the bucket of the (simulated) hydraulic excavator, is just counted. But making a "big" mistake such as losing control of the (simulated) off-highway truck on a downgrade, will immdediately stop (abort) the simulation and a "fatal error" message will appear. In addition, the fact that the simulation was stopped (aborted) is also noted in the simulation results.
And the simulator-based work is self-paced: each user progresses at his/her own speed through the various modules. Trainees begin at the first module and then move on to the second when they are ready. But operators looking to refresh or upgrade their skills can "jump" right to the more advanced modules instead! Finally, since the very same trials are presented to each user and since each user's simulated work is evaluated in exactly the same way, it becomes possible to compare the performance of different users in a truly objective way.
