method, process, activity, incentive, or reward that is more effective at
delivering particular outcomes than any other technique, method, process,
and so on. The most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best
results)way of accomplishing a task based on repeatable procedures that
have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people
10.Briefing - answer this refers to any activity that occurs prior to a
simulation event such as an educational activity. This can include giving
instructions, guidelines, or directives. This can be for the instructional
staff as well as for the learners.
