The client sends a request to Prendo for a given simulation on a given date (or dates), with an estimated number of participants, explanation of the context, and whether a Prendo facilitator is needed. Prendo sends workshop materials, technical test instructions and passwords to access simulation and report.
Prendo simulation workshops need a trained facilitator to debrief the participants' simulation experience; in most cases, the facilitator also introduces the workshop and supports participants during the simulation.
Participants are normally divided into teams (usually 3-5 participants per team) and workshops can have anything from 2 to 50 teams, so there can be from 6 to 200 participants.
A simulation workshop is normally run in a continuous half or full day timeframe, but this time can also be spread across different days or even weeks.
Participants are usually required to do a small amount of pre-workshop preparation, the workshop usually starts with a facilitator led introduction, then the simulation is run in teams, and then there is a group debrief. This sequence is the same for both classroom and virtual workshops.
Anywhere with an internet connection; in classroom workshops, teams can be all in the same room, or in separate rooms.
Yes; whilst many simulation workshops are run with the facilitator and all the teams in the same physical location, a simulation workshop can also be be delivered with remote teams and remote facilitation.
Each team needs an internet connected computer (PC or Mac).
Each team opens the simulation login page in a web browser, and this connects (with a password) to one of Prendo's servers around the world.
For each simulation, participants are typically given a small number of documents and worksheets, either on paper or to be downloaded from the online participant guide.
