Improvements to the simulations suggested by the JMLs

Suggested improvement	Description	Proposed remediation
Allowing for more creativity in problem solving and leadership. Too much like a reading comprehension test, not enough like a test/exploration of leadership tactics	This criticism highlights the uni-directional design of the simulation. A multi-directional simulation that offers a range of options that lead into greater complexity would address this concern	In the next phase of the research we will utilize a hybridized approach of virtual human role players (Suárez et al., 2021), more complex simulations like Fligby, and in-class case discussions and role-playing
The simulation could have been longer in its duration	The simulations are generic and short due to budget constraints	It is hoped that we can secure funding to build longer and more complex simulations
Teaches me about different types of leadership attributes. But there is always a clear, this is the proper answer, which I find to be irksome. I would love to be able to try multiple different leadership styles out to see which ones work best in different environments! Having an in-depth simulator that is intelligent enough to build different worlds where different types of leaders are required would be a phenomenal tool for instructing new leaders in the art of discovering what types work best in what environments as well as what doesn’t work at all	The simple uni-directional nature of the simulations is tied to their broad audience, and their use as a support to the leadership textbook used for the workshop	We hope to use more complex simulations and a hybridized approach that ties simulations, case-studies, discussions and role playing together
