Simulation game-based virtual learning

Abstract:- The paper describes the development of virtual simulation-game-based learning environment. Presented is a simulation-game tailored on the basis of constructivist theory for diversified student groups in graduate courses and employees in the tourism sector, aiming at giving them competences for international and global business management. The paper presents European project designing a VIRBUS simulation-game and virtual community for assisting collaboration among users: entrepreneurs, students, teachers and trainers. Focus groups were used in a design process and needs assessment was performed at the beginning of the project.
