Miller, Larry D. – Simulation and Games, 1979
This experiential learning activity highlights the perceptual processes that transpire between two interactants. Participants attempt to match other participants with their prime concern when interacting with someone socially for the first time. Illustrative data from a sample game are presented and discussed.

Klabbers, Jan – Simulation and Games, 1980
Discusses general structure and specification guidelines for interactive simulation/games, which include development of a computer simulation model, embedding the model in an interactive simulation, and embedding the simulation in a game. An outline following these guidelines is presented for the development of DENTIST, a dental health care…

Norton, Robert W. – Simulation and Games, 1979
This game focuses on techniques for identifying coalitions or subgroups within larger social systems; and generates a wealth of data that not only serve to dramatize social dynamics, but also can be used to identify the structure of coalitions and the degree to which particular individuals exert interpersonal influence. (Author/CMV)

McAndrews, Lawrence J. – History Teacher, 1991
Describes three methods of active learning for an undergraduate history class: (1) debates over differing historical interpretations; (2) demonstrations of change and continuity between past and present in an historical issue; and (3) simulations of real or imaginary events. Includes instructions, evaluation information, and a course description.…
