Rezensionen

"This book is a comprehensive guide to developing and managing educational simulations. User friendly and jam-packed with information, this tome challenges the novice and veteran instructor alike to innovate in the classroom with a cutting-edge pedagogy. Even the teacher who has never heard of simulation gaming will find this text useful. It's the only book you will need!"

Robert C. Bird, W. Paul Stillman School of Business, Seton Hall University

"Providing an extensive review of convincing literature, Hertel and Millis give us a careful, step-by-step, 'how-to' book--from the creative aspects of designing simulations through the challenging aspects of assessing students' performance. Simply put, reading Using Simulations to Promote Learning in Higher Education will change the way you teach. Bravo!"

Constance Staley, Director, Freshman Seminar Program, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, and author of Teaching College Success

"This work's original contribution lies its thoughtful prompts and detailed examples that show the reader how to author and carry out an effective simulation in the higher education context."

Journal of College Student Development

"This book. . .is a readable discussion of this kind of experiential learning process."

Teaching Theology and Religion

"Whether you are a veteran user of education simulations, or a novice in search of information about the pedagogical merit and use of this technique, Hertel and Millis's book is a valuable resource...the authors present a comprehensive review of the why and what of education simulation, as well as several valuable tools for creating and using simulations. The authors, while not critical of externally developed simulations, clearly spell out the pedagogical rewards for using teacher-created simulations specific to a discipline...This would be a useful reference for novice and veteran nursing educators who wish to help students bridge the gap between education and professional practice. It would also be useful for beteran educators who wish to review their knowledge of debriefing and assessing the technique."
