Resumen
Participatory simulations are collaborative group learning activities
whose goals are to improve teaching and learning, increasing motivation inside
the classroom by engaging the learner in games simulating a certain system
they have to learn about. It has been already applied to students of primary and
secondary educational levels, however there are still not experiences reported
with higher level students, although there are many learning subjects to which
this technique can be applied. This paper presents the implementation of a
framework-like tool for supporting learning activities in a business school with
undergraduate students using mobile devices over an ad-hoc network.
