The Switchman is an interactive scenario case study of the classic ethical dilemma the Trolley Problem. It is used in Plebe Leadership, and Youngster Ethics classes. It is the lead case study of the multi-part Stockdale Interactive group of digital case studies, available at: https://stockdaleinteractive.com/ Should you Pull the Switch, or let a runaway trolley run over a group of people on the track? Professor Doug Rau discusses the learning objectives of this and other case studies, and presents to instructors and students alike the best way to use, teach, and learn from "playing" these simulations in the classroom, and as an individual.
