We wish to provide a report on a project we have been involved in for a number of years: a multi-institutional, international simulation of the European Union, hereinafter, EURO-SIM. We believe our experience provides significant insights into the dynamics of student participation in simulations. As it deals with a practical pedagogical strategy we also believe there are useful lessons for individuals who are developing simulations, seeking to determine the value of simulations for student learning, or interested in developing useful assessment measures for student learning in simulations. As we are in the early stages of developing evaluative measures to assess student learning and experience in this context, our findings are presented as provisional: we hope colleagues will find them useful, but we also welcome comments for improving our assessment program.
