The Educational Simulation Research Collaborative is open to MCG faculty who are interested in conducting simulation research. The collaborative is supervised by Dr. A.J. Kleinheksel, Director of Research and Evaluation for the Educational Simulation program. The collaborative facilitates processes, leverages resources, and yields innovative and productive scholarship. Collaborative members meet monthly, support program goals, and employ and advocate for best practices in educational simulation research within their departments.
The scholarly products of the collaborative have been presented in regional, national, and international venues, and have been published in interdisciplinary journals. The selected publications and presentations below represent recent avenues of investigation.
