Beyond AI-Generated Answers: Designing Active Learning with Business Simulations
Lessons from teaching resilience and crisis management through real-time decision-making
Join us to explore how educators can design learning experiences that ask students to do more than produce a convincing answer. Through a practical example from resilience and crisis management, we’ll look at how live decisions, team work and reflection can make students’ thinking and participation part of the learning process.

In this 30-minute webinar, Professor Daniel Chicksand shares how he uses RealGame to design learning that requires students to think for themselves when learning resilience and crisis management. We’ll explore how simulation gaming, discussion and reflection can bring students into the decisions, collaboration and changing circumstances at the heart of the subject and what educators in other business disciplines can take from this approach.
