Abstract:
Academics have designed and developed role-play simulations to provide learning
opportunities for students in different disciplines for many years now. The AUTC
Information and Communication Technologies and Their Role in Flexible Learning
project has collated exemplars of the designs on a website (in development). Drawing
on this resource, this paper sets out to synthesise the previous developments as it
begins the work of theorising learning designs. In this way further understandings
might be generated whilst also guiding developments in fields of study beyond the
individual designs that have been reported to date.
