Description and Table of Contents
Description
The fields of Communication and Simulation have each become well established in their own right but no previously published work has examined their increasing interdependence. This volume explores links between the two fields and in it the international group of authors provides insights into how communication and simulation support each other. The authors discuss how simulation can help participants to understanding communication and to practice communication skills. They also emphasise the value of analysing the communication aspects of simulation and show how communication may provide a unifying and conceptual framework for simulation. Drawing together many disparate approaches and perspectives the book provides a unique insight into diverse forms of simulation gaming. Essential reading for every forward-looking educator and trainer. Discussions cover academic and practical applications at both theoretical and applied levels. The book is unique in many ways, particularly in emphasising how we may benefit from looking at communication within simulation and in showing how simulation may help us to understand communication and to become better communicators.
