The Need for Interactive Narrative in Educational Management Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors believe that well designed stories are one of the crucial factors in the engagement of the learner. This belief also applies to the design of interactive computer simulations, which historically have been thin on rich narrative. This paper explores the need for interactive narrative in educational management simulations and the role it plays in providing realistic settings for learning in management education. It will explain what is meant by interactive narrative and discuss the design features of an experimental interactive narrative simulation, an EdSim.
