Case-studies or suitcases: Addressing graduate attributes with an airline management simulation
2008
The graduate attributes of critical thinking and creativity sought by prospective employers are not easily achieved through passive observation of subject content, and its replay in assessment tasks that encourage rote learning. Simulations allow active learning to play a constructive role in student outcomes, providing opportunities to test, reflect on, and adapt the subject content. Where the simulation and assessment tasks are aligned with the desired learning outcomes students will be more engaged with their learning and are more likely to develop career relevant attributes. This paper addresses the introduction of a web-based airline business simulation to a 3rd year undergraduate aviation course.
