Simulation Games by Thiagi

by Sivasailam Thiagarajan

For decades teachers and trainers have used simulation games to provide immersive instructional experiences. A simulation game enables players to participate in an "almost" real experience, discover underlying principles, and practice appropriate skills. Unfortunately, many simulation games are expensive and time consuming. The simulation games in this book, however, are inexpensive and brief. In this book, Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan, Mad Scientist, award-winning game designer, and master of interactive activities, shares his secrets on designing and using simulation games for effective and enjoyable learning.
