1. -for the enhancement of the learning experience
Dr Frands Pedersen
DPIR, University of Westminster
2. To develop an open educational resource of
simulations and games in Politics and IR (and
other disciplines)
To produce a site on which lecturers can
show how they have used simulations and
games, and to what degree of success
To produce and make available guidance
notes and materials to accompany each
simulation or game
3.
Simulations exercises, role playing and games
have been used in the past in a number of
subject areas to enhance the classroom
learning experience;
Recent advances in learning technologies
have allowed simulation exercises to form
part of technology-enhanced, student-
centred, blended learning strategies
They are seen to boost student engagement
and learning both within and beyond the
classroom.
4. Research has shown that simulations and
games can contribute to the enhancement of
the learning experience
Enactive and experiential learning can help
bring concepts to life
Students enjoy simulations and games
So...
5. Why is the use of simulations and games in
teaching so uneven both between and within
institutions?
Three possible causes identified in small pilot
survey:
1. Lecturers do not believe in the pedagogical merits
of simulations and games.
2. The time required to plan, design and run
simulations and games is too great.
3. The preparation of materials can seem an
overwhelming task; where to start?
6. Recent developments:
◦ simulations are increasingly used by political
organisations for information and training purposes
[e.g. The European Parliament information office]
◦ Games, including board-games, from the
commercially available to the obscure, are yet again
appealing to users, new and old
◦ Technology has facilitated collaboration via
internet, e.g. through open educational resources

11. So far, very positive feedback, but...
Mostly users, few contributors
Exposure and promotion critically important.
