6cp
Postgraduate

This subject examines the scope of the simulations and games field, and introduces theoretical frameworks for their application to particular learning contexts. It uses a practice-based approach to design and usage problems. Relevant theories of human behaviour, social interaction and skill development are considered in relation to the way these inform the design, choices, and use of simulations and games for learning. Concepts examined include 'micro-worlds', online role-play, business management games, social planning games and mechanical simulators.
