This enables them to work on real problems and create practical, authentic situations. In the first part of the short online workshop, you will receive an overview of how simulation games can be integrated into your own teaching in a didactically meaningful way in order to promote the acquisition of skills, create a motivating learning environment, support the acquisition of knowledge, enable reflection and transfer and promote self-organized learning. Building on this, the second part presents current good practices of simulation games in university teaching.
Learning objectives
After completing the short online workshop , participants will be able to
Present the opportunities and challenges of using simulation games
and name good practices on the topic of simulation games in university teaching.
