This research paper aims to identify the impact(s) of simulation-based virtual learning environment on postgraduate studentslearning abilities. To achieve the learning objectives; positive relations between simulations and students learning are gathered based on the systematic review of the literature. A successful use of simulations depends on four factors: the role of the instructor, integration in the course, the courses technical specifications and, the practical exposure as an integrative dynamic virtual learning environment. We utilized a quantitative methodology to compile data from online bloggers and analysed the content. The findings in this paper reveal that students from all groups, disaggregated by gender and ethnicity, showed significant learning gains after playing these challenging simulation games. We also present some recommendations that can help alleviate some of the constraints experienced by institutions of higher education that integrate simulations into classrooms. © 2017 ACM.enPermission to reuse abstract has been secured from Association for Computing Machinery.Computer aided instructionComputer aided software engineeringEducatioElectronic commerceSemanticsStudentsTeachingVirtual realityCesimGame-based LearningInstitutions of higher educationsIntelligent learning environmentsSimulationTechnical specificationsVirtuaVirtual learning environments; E-learningE-learningConference PaperCopyright : 2017 ACM.
