Using Simulations to Promote Learning in Higher Education ─ An Introduction

Simulations create an environment in which students can apply theory to practice skills in the context of real-world issues. This book provides an introduction to the use of simulations, from creating simple scenarios that can be completed in a single class period, to extended, complex situations that may engage students for a semester. Appendices offer examples of scenarios. Hertel teaches law, and Millis is director of faculty development, at the US Air Force Academy. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
