GOAL
Introduce you to games and simulations, as learning technology tools, so that you can begin to
explore ways in which you can incorporate them into your work environment.
3. Objectives
Offer a description of games and simulations.
4. Describe the history of games and simulations.
5. Identify the purpose of games and simulations,
as learning tools.
Present the leading tools for the creation of games and simulations.
6. Discuss considerations for the design, development
and implementation of games and simulations.
7. Games & Simulations Survey
8. What is a GAME?
A structured activity in which two or more participants compete within constraints of rules to
achieve an objective.
(American Society for Training and Development)
9. What is a Simulation?
An operational model, using selected components, of a real or hypothetical process, mechanism or
system.
(American Society for Training and Development)
10. Simulations and games are teaching and learning methods in which participants are directly
involved in making decisions and learning from the outcomes of these.
(Society for the Advancement of Games and
Simulations in Education and Training)
11. So what is the difference between
a Game and a Simulation?

39. Games are still in an early stage of evolution.
Although they can be effective learning environments, not all games are effective nor are all games
educational. Games are now being designed based on learning theory and research. Their
effectiveness rests on the massively multiplayer immersive worlds they create, where learners learn

to be and a social network surrounds the learner. The time has come for games to be reintegrated
with education (learning), ending a longstanding rift
between work and play.
