Description
Using Simulations to Promote Learning in Higher Education An Introduction provides an introduction to the use of simulations as a powerful tool for learning. By creating a complete environment within which students can interact, simulations allow teachers to integrate multiple teaching objectives and motivate students to engage actively with their studies.
The book offers guidance on selecting and designing scenarios, creating simulated environments, and managing the process in the classroom. It also provides practical advice on debriefing and assessment, as well as a detailed example of how to plan and manage a complex simulation.
Whether you are looking for effective ways to bridge the gap between academic learning and discipline-specific practice, or simply seeking new ideas to enhance your teaching methods, this book is an invaluable resource. Its approach is accessible and practical, making it suitable for anyone in virtually any field of study.
