Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
We present a novel children's educational game, which was created through a human-work interaction design --- an emerging research field which advocates a better understanding of the relationship between work-domain based empirical studies and iterative design of prototypes and new technologies. We describe how "SimCompany", a game for teaching children about business management concepts, was created. SimCompany proved effective as a teaching tool about business management concepts, and initial evaluation showed a positive increase in students' rate of learning, compared to traditional teaching methods. |
