Designed for learning professionals and drawing on lessons from both game creators and instructional designers, this guide explains how to select, research, build, sell, deploy and measure the right type of educational simulation for the right situation. It covers simple projects that use basic or no technology as well as computer games and flight simulators. Aldrich, an e-learning expert, includes a chronology of the development of e-learning and computer games and a transcript of his interview with game designers Jane Boston, Warren Specter and Will Wright.
