Course Outline and Method

   This course provides students with experience of Gaming Simulation. By playing Gaming Simulation, in its virtual world, students can experience what they cannot or hardly experience in the real world. By doing so, they learn how our societies or their systems work and find problems, and eventually suggest solutions or pose challenges to the real world. In this way, Gaming Simulation can be a tool of PBL (Problem-Based Learning). Students can conduct PBL in the virtual world where they can experience phenomena that they usually cannot experience. Moreover, this course provides the students with opportunity to design Gaming Simulation prototype in group, by which they understand deeply the societies and their systems. This year, the course is conduced via online, meaning, experiencing gaming simulation online and design gaming simulation in group through online group discussion.
   This course is a course strongly recommended to take for students in "International PBL Program in ASEAN Countries."

Student Attainment Objectives

To understand advantages of Gaming Simulation
To be able to make use of Gaming Simulation to areas that the students are interested in

Recommendations for Private Study

Students need to design Gaming Simulation prototypes through online group work. Therefore, they need to work together not only in class, but also off class. Skills and knowledge required by this course depend on the prototypes. The students are expected to work together by sharing their skills and knowledge that other students do not have.

After the 3rd session, students are required to submit their Gaming Simulation ideas as a short report. Based on this report, instructors form students groups. The students work in group from the 4th session based on this formation.
