The Role of Simulations in the Learning Journey

Magic EdTech

How does simulation as a learning delivery mechanism differ from others? Simulations act as a replication of a particular situation or environment which is very different from any other type of learning. They emphasize the development of problem-solving and decision-making skills through the exploration of scenarios.
