Practical Design Guide for Simulation Game-Based Learning

Develop a design guide for simulation game-based learning that will help college and university instructional designers, faculty, and game developers collaborate with one another to identify desired learning outcomes – apply them to specific game mechanics when designing simulation games. Research assessments will be used to:

1. Document the process by which individuals design learning games

2. Examine the utility of the guideline for informing the design process

3. Evaluate the effectiveness of the guide for creating and improving upon games that meet learning incomes.
