As an educator, you must keep up with your students and engage them in an environment that they understand and are familiar with. Business simulation games are the kind of online learning tools that help students get actively involved in practical business decision making on a platform they can easily identify with.
Excerpt from The Learning Equation white paper:
"The basic learning equation is key to student knowledge retention. First, educators bring their considerable theoretical knowledge to the classroom, knowledge acquired over years of research, experience, and teaching. Without this knowledge, students can't move to meaningful practice. Instead, they face a frustrating road of trial and error that may not always lead to results. Professors, as masters of their content area, have a wealth of knowledge to offer students. And students, as they gain content knowledge, bring their own experiences to bear on the subject matter adding to the overall knowledge of their peers and cohort."
