Simulating History

The best practices for history simulations project.

Welcome,

Canadians are concerned about their understanding of their history, and especially about the way that it is taught. The “Simulating History” project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, is exploring the “ best potential” for educational computer simulations (sometimes called computer “serious games”) to teach Canadian history. Based at Brock University, and led by Kevin Kee, the “Simulating History” team is developing and testing history simulations to explore the best potential for teaching and learning history in the twenty-first century.
