Journal
of Simulation/Gaming for Learning and Development - SGLD
ISSN 2158-5539
Just like our sister journal,
S&G,
as well as many other journals, SGLD offers authors the advantages of
OnLineFirst. Under this system, "forthcoming articles are published online
before they are scheduled to appear" in their final issue.
OnlineFirst provides clear benefits to all researchers and
users of the journal's online content. The feature allows subscribers and
members the ability to access the very latest papers in the field.
Authors also benefit from greatly reduced lead times between submission and
publication of articles. Without OnlineFirst, an author's work would
only appear online once a finalized issue was sent to print. However,
with OnlineFirst, manuscripts can appear online while other articles are being
completed for an upcoming issue. An author's research will therefore
reach its audience more quickly, enabling an article to receive greater usage
and exposure, including earlier citation opportunities by related work.

Student perceptions of collaborative work
in telematic simulation |
Abstract: Student work
groups in higher education are not always operational; teachers should use
methods for the early detection of dysfunctions to help remedy deficiencies
that hamper group effectiveness. We have found that polling at different
moments in an activity is instrumental in spurring groups to correct their
shortcomings. This paper presents the perceptions of a cohort of engineering
students, whose group work was improved as a result of polling during a
telematic simulation with student teams from other countries. Qualitative
analysis of the students’ personal reflections shows that several factors
were related to active participation and group effectiveness. These included
greater familiarity among members, awareness of group performance, efficient
inter- and intra-group communication, suitable task distribution and work
organization.
Keywords: active participation; assessment; awareness; collaborative
work; communication skills; debriefing; dysfunctions; familiarity; group
work; group effectiveness; language learning; polling; task distribution;
team; telematic simulation |

Developing problem-solving and intercultural communication: An online
simulation for engineering students |
Abstract In this article we describe ENGINEERS WITHOUT
BORDERS, a simulation we created to engage engineering undergraduates in the
USA and English language learners pursuing a degree in engineering in Spain
in a series of thematically-related activities based on authentic
situations, where participants had to work in teams to solve problems and
probe complex and relevant issues, thus taking ownership of the outcome.
This pilot study seeks to gather findings about the participants’ views
towards the effects of international classroom simulations on the
development of critical thinking and intercultural awareness among
engineering students.
Keywords: asynchronous conferencing, collaborative learning, critical
thinking skills, EFL/ESL web-based instruction, intercultural communication,
learners’ attitudes, online role-play, simulations, problem solving, soft
skills, students’ perceptions, synchronous communication |
