"Teaching social simulation"

Edmund Chattoe-Brown and Nigel Gilbert

Those teaching innovative methods such as social simulation face two problems. For novice teachers, the costs of starting up are relatively high. For experienced teachers, there are few opportunities to exchange ideas about "what works" (and what doesn't). This session is intended to address both by offering an opportunity for those already teaching simulation to pool their expertise and a chance for those who aren't to see how it is done. We hope those who are already teaching simulation will bring sample syllabi and reading lists. If there is a good attendance, we shall consider setting up an ESSA SIG for teachers.

This seminar is free for the conference participants of European Social Simulation Association.
