The article by Rita Stampfl, Igor Ivki, and Barbara Geyer discusses the implementation of Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly ChatGPT, in role-playing simulation games to promote active learning. The authors highlight the importance of digital transformation in educational institutions, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. They suggest that LLMs can improve the quality of teaching by allowing students to practice real-life scenarios. The article also mentions how LLMs can enhance distance learning tasks and contribute to the development of metacognitive skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. The authors conducted a case study to demonstrate the practical application of these concepts.
