The book is a rare reference for teachers who wish to initiate active learning by applying many real experiences from world experts in simulation and gaming.

Simulation and gaming meets the requirements of such teaching programs, especially for active learning, but there are few books or references on how to gamify a lecture. This book serves as a guide to facilitate that change.
