Though games and simulations have been adopted by a number of industries, a strong foothold does not yet exist in the realm of education. I would expect this to change in coming years as more research is done and socially-distant platforms are developed and implemented.

Given the global shift to online learning, games and simulations will be more important than ever in filling the knowledge gaps created by this transition. If learning cannot occur in the traditional classroom, we will need a new set of tools to compensate for the deficits inherent in the absence of face-to-face instruction.
