W. W. Norton is proud to announce interactive, electronic role-playing simulations for American and Texas government. Customized for each of Norton's American government texts (listed below), these online simulations provide students with hands-on experience of how government works. Students receive productive feedback on their decisions (sometimes in the form of job-approval ratings) and can go through each simulation multiple times to see how different answers affect the outcome. Simulations take ten to fifteen minutes to complete and have printable results students can take to class for discussion; best of all, they are designed to support both individual use and classroom demonstrations.
