Instructional Simulation Games as Systems of Communication.
Orbach, Eliezer
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v8 n1 p67-93 1979-80
Analyzes instructional simulation games as systems of communication in which information is transmitted by game designers to players via channels such as scenarios, rules, and other players. Particular attention is given to the process whereby theoretical messages are encoded by game designers into game stories and then are decoded by players back into theoretical messages. (Author/JEG)
