Game and Simulation Based Learning

Researchers generally agree that games and simulations can engage the learner using the game mechanics of strategy, resource management, simulation and power fantasy, immersion, storyline, context, character embodiment, and physical experimentation.


What makes our serious games and simulations unique?

  • Development: knowledge and game sense that gets you a robust, engrossing game.
    Web Courseworks’ game developers apply degrees in computer science (advanced mathematics, object-oriented programming, artificial intelligence, etc.) to develop richer, more robust, more sophisticated games and simulations. They are also avid game players and students of game theory, giving them the academic understanding and practical game sense necessary to lend the engrossing appeal of classic computer games to learning games and simulations.
  • Instructional design: creativity and analytical ability that gets you a game worth playing.
    Web Courseworks’ instructional designers are intellectual generalists who enthusiastically engage with your subject matter experts, delve into your content, synthesize it into gameable learning objectives, and collaborate with developers to design games and simulations with real educational value. They are equally comfortable flowcharting intricate branching simulations and writing creative back stories.
  • Project management: a collaborative ethos and attention to detail that provides a smooth development process.
    Web Courseworks’ project managers are the grown-ups in the house, gently disciplining the development process and ensuring full sensitivity to clients’ business objectives. They have long experience balancing time, cost, and quality in complex development processes and managing relationships among diverse stakeholders.
