Network Design Gaming Platform to Enhance Students Optimization Modelling Skills

Overview

This study aims (1) to supplement the teaching of modelling fundamentals in distribution network design, and (2) to mitigate the lack of students’ engagement and deep interaction by providing opportunities for students’ deliberate practice through an online simulation game platform. In particular, the online simulation will allow students to experience decision making in a complex, uncertain environment and provide repeated deliberate practice on the development of models to aid the decision making task.
