Overview

This volume provides a practical model to help trainers and teachers design games and simulations. It is based on an analysis of the role of academic games in the classroom and the different processes that propel different simulations. The book covers games for the educational setting, including computer and non-computer games, tactical decision-making simulations and the role of technology, social interaction simulations and debriefing. It is structured so as to enable users to avoid exercises that will not be useful. The book helps to evaluate games and simulations and redesign flawed ones. The designer is provided with a variety of creative ideas for developing simulations for use in education and training. Throughout, the book uses examples and case studies to illustrate the points.
