Facilitating simulations and games for learning
with Dr Elyssebeth Leigh
About the session
Simulations and games are not gamification!
Facilitating simulations and games for learning requires quite different skills and knowledge from other forms of facilitation. This session will invite participants to explore how the different kinds of outcomes for facilitated learning shape differences in the kinds of skills and knowledge required for each context.
The session will draw on two sets of knowledge the IAF core competencies and a selection of statements about facilitating simulations and games. Participants will work with basic statements from both domains and explore how they are the “Same same – but different” to develop plans for their own further development in both domains of skills and knowledge.
Introducing our host

Dr Elyssebeth Leigh
Elyssebeth is a simulation and games designer, and adult educator. She is passionate about making learning "stick" beyond the first encounter. She believes that active engagement in the learning process requires learners to take responsibility for their own learning a stance which makes facilitating simulations and games different from structured facilitation such as addressed by the IAF competencies. Elyssebeth will explain her stance of 'hovering invisibly' as a response to the need to resist being the 'leader' of the action during a simulation of game for learning.
