Zusatztext "[This is] an important book in the field.It is a pioneering work [that] strikes a good balance between addressing the theoretical underpinnings of simulations designed to teach decision-making and more practical information such as examples showing what they are and what they can do."—Ronald E. AndersonUniversity of Minnesota Informationen zum Autor Edited by Cohen, Steve; Portney, Kent E.; Rehberger, Dean; Thorsen, Carolyn Klappentext Focuses on the special issues related to the use of digital technologies in teaching the complex nature of social decisions with particular attention to the use of digital role-play simulations as a means to accomplish this.
