Passive learning is a thing of the past. Going forward, educators everywhere will need to understand and respond to the changing requirements of students, as well as governmental bodies that expect a significant improvement in the factor of employability upon graduation. Active-learning formats help educators achieve that, by providing a much more stimulating learning environment to students to compliment and practice their theoretical business knowledge.

If you think that gaming is only the domain of the young and nerdy, think again. A study shows that six-in-ten Americans ages 18 to 29 and 53% of those ages 30 to 49 say they play video games often or sometimes, with the rest of the world showing equal signs of interest. Not only are games entertaining; moreover, if focused correctly, they are also one of the most engaging learning platforms a student can encounter.

One of the hot topics of the education industry currently is the learning assessment of students and how to measure whether business school students truly derive that much touted value from their oftentimes expensive studies. After all, one of the hardest jobs teachers have is to ensure that they aren't merely reciting lecture slides, but pass on and create valuable knowledge in an increasingly demanding environment. Notice that I intentionally used the word 'create' in addition to 'pass on', to highlight the growing importance of collaborative learning in all disciplines, where knowledge is indeed created by the discussion amongst students as much as by the educator's contribution.

As of 12.10.2011, Cesim business simulation games have taken a leap forward and become compatible with Apple iPads, as well as any other flash-less devices, by introducing 100% flash-free charts and graphs. Previously, all charts were utilizing flash, but have now been brought up to modern technological standards through the use of HTML5 technology. Currently, Cesim Global Challenge and Cesim SimBrand simulations are 100% compatible.
Cesim OnService and Cesim Hospitality have a few gauge charts that are not yet supported in HTML5, thus making flash-less devices unable to generate them. The required support is expected to be added during the remainder of 2011.
