Elyssebeth Leigh

Elyssebeth teaches how to design, facilitate and manage simulations and games as learning tools. She also conducts action learning/action research programs for industry and researches the processes whereby those who do the work can be involved in improving work contexts. Her classes challenge adult students to explore their behaviour in teaching and learning contexts through the use of simulations and structured experiences that represent their own varied life contexts. She has been involved in adult learning contexts for more than twenty years as a teacher, trainer, human resources manager, and consultant and - most recently - as an academic.

Research Areas:
Facilitation of extended simulations; the emotional fabric of relationships in extended simulations; the design, selection and management of action research projects in work places; the issues involved in facilitation of simulations as open-ended (chaordic) learning contexts. She is also engaged in research and development of support strategies for IT skills and knowledge for Education Faculty staff.

Community and Professional Activities:
Elyssebeth is president-elect of ISAGA (International Simulation and Games Association). She is a member of Women and Management and is active in the NSW branch of ALARPM the Action Learning, Action Research and Process Management Association.
