Learning effects of simulated investment game for startups

Careful listening ability is one of the key success factors in educational programs, especially, in team-based discussions and presentations. The aim of the present paper is to provide an effective method which would motivate students to pay attention to others’ oral presentations. Therefore, we propose a simulated investment game based on voting systems. Furthermore, the proposed simulated investment game is validated for its ability to make learning experience fun and capability to enhance the students’ attention to other students’ presentations.
