چکیده
This discussion paper gives an overview of the shortcomings of existing computer-based business simulation games and identifies the requirements for developing an integrated gaming environment based on active intelligent agents and interactive pedagogical agents. In particular, methods are presented to integrate a business game vertically and horizontally employing reusable intelligent agent technology solutions across a business curriculum. While describing the features of the integrated gaming environment, this article also raises some pedagogical issues related to computer-based simulation games.
