This demo discusses how Utrecht University develops and uses simulation games and learning analytics through Educate-it, a university-wide program stimulating innovations in education. In particular, we will show how we use Communicate, a serious game for practicing communication skills, in medicine, pharmacy, psychology, and other programs, and we will show a learning analytics service used to collect information about conceptual understanding and misunderstanding of students working in Communicate or on digital assessments.
