The Earthquake Video is a powerful tool that helps participants understand and apply the individual and team development concepts learned during the simulation activity. It helps to actively and emotionally engage participants into the story-line, simplify the facilitation process, and enhance the overall learning from the activity. The video is broken into three sections that follow the course of the entire simulation activity: The Scenario uses a realistic re-enactment of the story-line to enhance believability of the simulation. The Expert Rationale is presented in a clear and convincing method using graphic elements to highlight key learning points. Debriefing the Simulation provides easy to understand explanations of what each score means and the significance to group dynamics and performance. This section offers discussion questions to bring the learning back to the workplace. Note: The video does not add to the overall completion time of the simulation. It simply changes the manner in which the various sections can be facilitated. Time required: 27 minutes
