Perry, Chad; Euler, Terry – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1989
Investigates the use of personal computer (PC) programs to help participants in simulation exercises transform their experiences into knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Six programs developed at Queensland Institute of Technology are described that involve operations management, strategic management, and macroeconomics. Examples of spreadsheets are…

Klobusicky-Mailander, Elizabeth – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1991
Describes a computer-assisted simulation that was used to improve foreign language learning among engineering and teaching students. The use of telecommunications is discussed; the foreign policy orientation of the simulation is described; and the positive effects of the simulation on student motivation, independent learning, and cooperation are…

Sunal, Cynthia Szymanski; Haas, Mary – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1991
Describes a study of novice and advanced preservice teachers that explored the effect of a computer simulation on decision-making training for planning lessons. Treatments of the experimental and control groups are described, results of pretests and posttests are analyzed, and further research is suggested. (14 references) (LRW)
