Simulation games offer a wide range of possibilities for various subjects to teach complex learning content in a hands-on way. They can be conducted in analog, hybrid, or digital formats. Increasingly, digital elements are found in all phases of the simulation game: from Moodle learning packages in the preparation phase to digital platforms for supporting the (analog) play phase, as well as digital tools in the reflection phase.

At the Roundtable, Dr. Maria Theresa Meßner (TU Darmstadt) and Christian Buschmann (GU Frankfurt) share practical examples of integrating digital elements in the use of simulation games in teaching. After an introduction to the simulation game method, examples of digitally supported forms follow, along with a discussion on the limits and possibilities.
