Resources about Games and Simulations at EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. ‘Games and simulations provide educators with an opportunity to engage learners in an immersive and interactive environment that requires knowledge, decision making, and information management skills. However, games and simulations used in teaching and learning can be controversial; their association with play and fun is often considered noneducational. Even so, games and simulations are gaining increasing cultural acceptance. Research suggests that games and simulations can play a significant role in facilitating learning through engagement, group participation, and immediate feedback and providing real-world contexts.’
