Cecchini, Arnaldo; Frisenna, Adriana – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1987
Reviews the problems of classifying gaming techniques and suggests a heuristic approach as one solution. Definitions of simulation, models, role, and game and play are discussed to help develop a classification based on a technique called gaming simulation. (Author/LRW)

Laveault, Dany; Corbeil, Pierre – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1990
Discussion of the impact of simulation games on learning focuses on a study of a college history course that compared game results with historical facts. A content analysis of the comparisons is presented, models of learning acquisition are discussed, and the learning stages that occur in a simulation game are described. (three references) (LRW)
