Simulation and game-based learning are essential applications in a
learning environment as they provide learners an opportunity to
apply the course material in real-life scenarios. Introducing
real-life learning allows the learner to make critical decisions at
different points within the simulation providing constructive
education that leads to a cognitive understanding of the material.
The use of simulations provides the learner with the ability to
cognitively store and recall learning in real-life experiences.
Therefore, it is crucial to not only provide course material but to
have students apply what they have learned in simulations that
replicate real-life scenarios. These learned skills are essential
for students to be marketable and thrive in a career field where
decision making, problem solving, and critical thinking are job
requirements. Simulation and Game-Based Learning in Emergency and
Disaster Management is a cutting-edge research book that examines
the best practices and holistic development when it comes to
simulation learning within emergency and disaster management as
well as global security. Drawing upon the neuroscience of learning,
classroom instruction can be enhanced to incorporate
active-experiential learning activities that positively impact a
learner with long-term information retention. Each simulation
project is carried out in different environments, with different
goals in mind, and developed under various constraints. For these
reasons, this book will provide insight into the simulation
planning and development process, provide examples of online
simulations and game-based learning activities, and provide insight
on simulation development and implementation that can be used
across disciplines in educational and training settings. As such,
it is ideal for academicians, instructional designers, curriculum
designers, education professionals, researchers, and students.
