Learn About Using Simulations in the Classroom

Simulations are an exceptional tool in public affairs studies for innovative teaching and learning.  The Center for Leadership, Simulation and Gaming of the Frank Batten School at the University of Virginia has developed incredible simulations that have been used in classrooms as a tool to teach system dynamics, complex international relations, and more!  Thanks to our incredible presenters at the 2019 NASPAA Conference in LA, we have some amazing modules on how you can use simulations to your classroom.

This is a download link for the presentation materials used by the Center for Leadership, Simulation and Gaming team from the Batten School of Public Policy.
