Learning online with games, simulations, and virtual worlds: strategies for online instruction

This straightforward, practical installment in the Jossey-Bass Guides to Online Teaching and Learning series will focus on the use of games, simulations, and virtual environments (such as World of Warcraft, The Sims, and Second Life) in online teaching. Using frameworks, tips, case studies and other real examples, and resources, it will help faculty members and instructional designers comfortably use games, simulations, and virtual environments. It will show faculty members and instructional designers how to: identify the right opportunity to build games, simulations, and virtual environments into the curriculum; find the right existing simulation; build institutional support for using and financing some simulations; incorporate games, simulations, and virtual environments into the curriculum; and measure the learning outcomes. It will not focus on building or significantly modifying a game or simulation.
