Clark Aldrich

Global authority on experiential learning, with a specialty in developing leaders

Clark Aldrich is the award-winning author of six books — including Unschooling Rules and Learning By Doing — and an award- and patent-winning designer of educational simulations and serious games.

Aldrich has been called a "guru" by Fortune magazine and a "maverick" by CNN, made Charles Koch's list of "recommended reading," and was cited by Barack Obama.

An education thought leader, Aldrich has over the last three decades repeatedly jumpstarted the field's most consequential shifts, including online learning, simulations and gamification, microschools, and Hero-driven learning.

01Forefront of e-learning

As a leading industry analyst, Aldrich founded Gartner's e-learning research and advisory services in 1997, helping jumpstart and define the modern corporate learning industry, and advising many of the world's largest organizations during the first wave of digital learning transformation.

02Forefront of simulation- and game-based learning

Aldrich is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of modern simulation- and game-based learning. Beginning in 1998, Aldrich's published research and projects on game- and simulation-based learning — including collaborations with McKinsey and Sony — led to three award-winning books published with John Wiley & Sons: Simulations and the Future of Learning (2003), Learning by Doing (2004), and The Complete Guide to Simulations and Serious Games (2009). These works coined key simulation terms, such as "branching story," and helped launch education's gamification movement. In 2011, he co-founded and keynoted the international Serious Play conference, and he earned a U.S. patent and a "Best Product of the Year" award from ASTD (now ATD) as lead designer of Virtual Leader.

03Forefront of microschools

Aldrich's fifth book, Unschooling Rules (2011), now associated with the rise of learner-centric microschools and alternatives to conventional schooling, earned a place on Charles Koch's list of recommended reading and a citation from Barack Obama.

04Forefront of accessible scenario-based learning to bridge the learning/doing gap

Starting in 2014, Aldrich created the breakthrough Short Sims pedagogy, addressing one of education's foundational challenges by enabling traditional tools and cultures to capture and use "learning to do" content rather than only "learning to know." This also greatly reduces the barriers for most people to learn. Short Sims became an industry standard, with clients for Short Sims including the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Gates Foundation, ETS, the U.S. Department of State, the Center for Army Leadership, KPMG, and Moody's. His sixth book, Short Sims: A Game Changer, was published by CRC Press in 2020. In total, Aldrich has created well over 100 educational simulations and serious games, making him one of the most experienced designers in the field.

05Forefront of Heroic Learning and Hero-Driven Communities

Since 2023, Aldrich's work on Hero-Driven communities — exploring how organizations can be redesigned to feed their heroes rather than their demons — has become the focus of an upcoming seventh book. That work also led to the creation of Socratic Cards in 2026. By blending Socratic dialogues, game mechanics, peer feedback, reflection, mentorship, and real-world challenges, the Pro Edition of Socratic Cards transforms leadership development from passive instruction into a heroic journey of growth — all in an elegant format that does not rely on a traditional educational infrastructure. The pedagogy can be used for almost any skill.

06Coverage and other projects

Aldrich's visionary work has earned numerous "Best of the Year" honors, a U.S. patent, and spots on multiple "top of the profession" lists and industry cover stories. He has served as a columnist for Training and Online Learning magazines, spoken widely as a keynote speaker, represented the Governor on Connecticut's education task force, reviewed grants for the National Science Foundation, served as an expert witness, and appeared in hundreds of news stories, including coverage by The New York Times, NPR, CBS, and ABC.

Aldrich also has deep experience working with senior leadership, including: years with the C-suite at Xerox – where he worked directly with Ursula Burns (CEO of Xerox, 2009-2016); at the Research Board – advising dozens of corporate CIOs and their teams out of his Fifth Avenue office; over five years working with the National Security Agency (NSA) – where he held Top Secret security clearance while working on their advisory board; and with Hero-driven organization guru Jeff Sandefer.

Aldrich has guest lectured at Harvard, the Army War College, the Naval War College, and the FBI Academy at Quantico. His books are taught in courses ranging from the undergraduate level through Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs.

By viewing game design, pedagogy, and leadership not as separate domains but strands of the same braid, Aldrich is able to do the rarest thing, develop in people not just the skills but judgment required to thrive.

Aldrich holds a degree in Cognitive Science from Brown University and divides his time between strategic and hands-on projects. He grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, and is the ninth great-grandson of Governors John Winthrop and Thomas Dudley, the first and second governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Books by Clark Aldrich

Simulations and the Future of Learning: An Innovative (and Perhaps Revolutionary) Approach to e-Learning

"I read through the entire book in one sitting. Clark Aldrich has achieved a similar effect to Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize-winning, The Soul of a New Machine. Clark compels us to the conclusion that there is truly no other way to learn than through doing. His analysis of how our children will probably learn little in traditional environments results in the realization that we are on a collision path with the current generation when we attempt to teach them with lectures and trivial interactions and exercises. Believe it or not, the book also made me laugh out loud. In addition, I learned more about Leadership than I have in 35 years of management training programs and book reading. These are serious accomplishments for what I expected to be a technical book."
- Gloria Gery, American Society of Training and Development

Learning by Doing: A Comprehensive Guide to Simulations, Computer Games, and Pedagogy in e-Learning and Other Educational Experiences

"Drawing from higher education to the corporate world, from state-of-the-art computer games and flight simulators to live role plays, this book is a great read for educators of all types," writes Marshall S. Smith, director of education programs at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The textbook Learning by Doing explains how to select, research, build, sell, deploy, and measure the right type of "learning by doing" for the right situation. As John Coné, former chief learning officer of Dell Computers, suggests, "Anyone who wants to lead or even succeed in our profession would do well to read this book."

Unschooling Rules: 55 Ways to Unlearn What We Know About Schools and Rediscover Education

"One of the few books where I have ever agreed with every word."
- Larry Rosenstock, creator of San Diego's High Tech High

The most powerful new ideas in education are coming from the families that have given up on schools. From his experience with homeschoolers and unschoolers, education guru Clark Aldrich distills a revolutionary manifesto of 55 core ''rules'' that reboots our vision of childhood education and the role of schools. This straightforward book, quoted by President Obama, is being devoured and shared by those who care most about education in the 21st Century, including parents, teachers, school administrators, and national policy makers.

Short Sims

"Aldrich has done it again. He has created a solution that makes the room go quiet."
- Karl Kapp

Education is in crisis, from universities to corporations.

Despite grand visions, the fundamental building blocks of content (and therefore all of instruction) remain text heavy and passive. And the rare application of advanced consumer technology has resulted in experiments that are narrow in scope, hard to deploy, and impossible to update.

This book provides a better way: a proven new pedagogy that allows anyone to quickly create engaging and responsive content that still aligns with current budgets, schedules, and deployments.

Non-proprietary, the approach combines new tools that have just emerged with decades of research and implementations with leading organizations including The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Harvard Business School Publishing, ETS, Visa, Gartner, State Department, Acton Academy, and the U.S. Army. If education's dark ages has been defined by the dominance of linear content, Short Sims shed light on an educational landscape where active content is cheap, commonplace, and expected of authors.
