Listen "Developing Leaders through Digital Role-Play with SkillGym"
Episode Synopsis
We know practice is the best ways to improve a skill and role play is a great way to practice conversations. Unfortunately, the synchronous nature of traditional role-play is difficult to coordinate, often fails to scale, and requires a great deal of effort to measure.
In this episode I talk with Andrea Laus from SkillGym to hear how they’re taking digital role-based simulations in a different direction.
Hear how they’re using interactive video to create dynamic, asynchronous simulations that allow a learner to practice their skills when it works best for them while simultaneously assessing their progress and deconstructing the experience into actionable chunks.
