Learning with a strategic management simulation game: A case study.

adopting a blended learning pedagogic approach enables instructors to obtain the best of both traditional and digital domains...
1. The blended learning approach has enabled the delivery of curriculum to be made more flexible, allowing learning and education to become more accessible to prospective learners that have very different lifestyles, goals and learning experiences.
Games involve competition (or cooperation) against (or with) the programmeme or other players to attain a goal within the rules and constraints of the game setting.
Students learn with simulations by experimenting with changing the input values, parameters and constraints of the process, and consequently observing the change in the output. Pure simulation programmes have no specific goals or competitive element that learners have to consider.
There is a growing hybrid of simulation and games that are essentially decision-making systems that require players to make a series of decisions in a contrived environment but with realistic scenarios.
QUESTION: 1) the use of simulation games will correlate positively with learning? 2) how and why do simulation games enhance learning?
