Technology-Enabled Innovations in Education

Abstract

Cooperation and collaboration are two different ways of promoting teamwork. Cooperation occurs when the team members actively participate in achieving the objectives, whereas collaboration happens when each member contributes from his or her discipline of expertise. The main characteristic of teamwork is its collaborative nature. The role of the leader is fundamental in organizations, especially in times of crisis. Therefore, it is essential to encourage the leadership skills of administrative staff using tools such as role-playing. Thus, the objective of this article was to propose a game to promote leadership and collaboration. We used serious games as the methodology, which allows teaching and reinforcing learning entertainingly. The design and application of games help management strategies and create opportunities for innovative education.
