Virtual Enterprise Simulation Game as an Environment for Collaborative Creativity and Learning

2021

AbstractWhen employees become accustomed to everyday working habits it can prevent them from generating creative ideas. This familiarity takes the forms of mainly collaborating with familiar colleagues, playing roles that develop over years, and solving encountered problems with proven strategies. This chapter considers how a virtual enterprise simulation game (RealGame) can potentially foster digital creativity and collaborative learning. The game simulates a situation where team members take responsibility for managing a virtual manufacturing company and its supply chain. Theoretically, we consider RealGame a facilitating environment for people to collaborate by offering a safe environmen…

Korkeakoulujen uraohjauksen käytäntöjä kehittämässä

2011

Julkaisuun on koottu korkeakoulujen uraohjaajan asiantuntijaohjelmassa (2008 - 2010) tehtyjä kehittämishankkeita. Teksteissä kuvataan eri korkeakoulujen uraohjauksen tilannetta ja kehittämistoimia. Suomalaisten korkeakoulujen opinto- ja uraohjauksen kehittämiseen on kiinnitetty lisääntyvää huomiota viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Teksteissä kuvataan ensisijaisesti yksilö- ja ryhmäohjauksen lupaavia käytänteitä. Opiskelijakeskeiset käytänteet liitetään osaksi ohjausjärjestelyjen kokonaiskehittämistä verkostomaisesti järjestettyjen ohjauksen palvelumallin (VOP) avulla.

Organizing for collaboration in simulation-based environments : an affordance perspective

2023

Extant research has identified the significance of technological affordances in computer-supported learning environments. However, until recently, there is scarcely empirical research on affordances for organizing collaboration in these learning environments. To address this gap, this study empirically examines affordances for organizing collaboration in a simulation-based learning environment. We focus, in particular on understanding how the organizing affordances of the learning environment are perceived and employed by the learners during a simulation-based learning task. The study was executed among 177 undergraduate higher education (HE) business students from 10 universities in Belgiu…
