Instructional Simulation

Information exchange is a most critical element in instructional simulation games. The author therefore analyses these games as systems of communication in which information is transmitted by game designers to players via channels such as scenarios, rules and other players. Particular attention is given to the process whereby theoretical messages are encoded by game designers into game-stories, and then are decoded by players back into theoretical messages. The concepts of Transmitter, Receiver, Channel and Noise are related to instructional simulation games, and important questions generated through the use of these concepts are introduced for further research.

Instructional Simulation

As simulation usage becomes more prevalent in education, it is important to analyze how teaching and learning is impacted by its use. We present here a case study of a specific computer-based instructional simulation, the Virtual Audiometer, and instructor and student perspectives regarding the simulation use’s effects on teaching and learning. Specifically, findings are described within a model of five areas in which technology can effect education: visualization, authentic engagement, quality and quantity of practice and feedback, interaction and collaboration, and reflection. Although room for improvement was identified, data showed that in this specific case, the computer-based instructional simulation improved teaching and learning experiences in all five areas. An understanding of how simulations impact teaching and learning can help inform design of both the simulations produced for higher education and the implementation of these simulations within a course.
