Abstract

The article focuses on a study which examined the effectiveness of using web simulations of extensive form games for undergraduate courses. The study included students in a course that utilized a simulation of the legislative process of the U.S. Congress. Study findings revealed that students perceive improvement in their academic performance. However, direct measures did not show any evidence of the efficacy of simulations in improving student performance.
