Facilitator
In plenary classroom sessions, the facilitator will present conceptual frameworks of pre-identified competencies to
facilitate the transfer of the learning to the workplace. To ensure maximum relevance to the participants, some
sessions deal with ad hoc issues that arise from the work in teams.
Coaches
Coaches help participants maximize the learning of principles, concepts and skills. They challenge participants to
think strategically, plan thoroughly and use leadership and management skills to build an effective organization
capable of attaining its objectives. Coaches play a special role in facilitating the debriefing of simulation events or
group dynamics to reinforce the retention of new knowledge and its transfer to the workplace. Coaches also play a
mentoring role by providing participants with an individual feedback session.

Realistic Context
The CODe-C program recognizes that creating a realistic
context is one of the most important features to provide
higher retention and transfer of knowledge to the
workplace. Realism is created through the
computer-based simulation’s storyline, virtual
characters and related department activities, e.g.,
in-basket items, project tasks, meetings and training
events.
Feedback
Within CODe-C, feedback comes from coaches, the
computer-based simulation, the facilitator and other
course participants.
