The SIMPLE project provides tools for designing legal simulations to facilitate transactional learning. Students engage in authentic tasks like negotiations that teach skills like letter writing, research, and teamwork. Evaluations found simulations improved professional skills and understanding while assessments showed better results than traditional projects. There were initial challenges for staff but benefits to students' learning experiences. The project concludes simulations can enable deeper engaged learning if supported and integrated into the curriculum.
