Case Study Simulation Game - December 2005 The purpose
of these web pages will be to showcase ongoing work being developed
by the University of Glamorgan's e-Learning Services Team in the area
of Simulation Games. I will be updating these pages a few times a year
as new projects get underway but the main purpose is to show some examples
to a community of educators, developers and practitioners interested
in developing educational Simulation Games. |

The
simulation game was used within a core module called Enterprise Planning
within the Business School of the University of Glamorgan by second
year students studying a variety of awards. The students were studying
the characteristics of large and small organisations and after a
lecture on this theme, were asked to explore the simulation game
during the following week and note the characteristics of the two
organisations. The tutor used this experience for a focused debrief/discussion
in the tutorial the following week around the dynamics within organisations.
Our evaluation from the students was very positive and is currently
being written up. This is our first attempt at creating a simulation game for learning and was made in Flash using an object-oriented approach. As a result we now have a robust engine for making similar learning applications which we hope to do during Spring '06. See the game If you'd like to find out more about the project, offer your observations or have an idea you'd like to develop, please contact Martin Lynch in the University of Glamorgan's e-Learning Services Team: mlynch@glam.ac.uk |
