Abstract

Purpose

Higher education institutions (HEIs) face the formidable responsibility of equipping students with the requisite knowledge and skills essential for a successful transition into the professional workforce. In contemporary education, simulation-based learning (SBL) has emerged as a pivotal tool employed by HEIs to facilitate and enhance the learning experience. MonsoonSIM stands out as a notable simulation-based experiential learning platform, encompassing a wide spectrum of business processes. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of SBL in Malaysian HEI, with a specific focus on utilizing MonsoonSIM to bolster students' knowledge and skills.

Design/methodology/approach

To gather empirical evidence, an online survey questionnaire was methodically distributed to 254 students enrolled in Malaysian HEIs, employing purposive sampling techniques. A total of 114 valid responses were collected and subjected to rigorous analysis using SmartPLS4, leveraging the partial least squares structural equation modeling methodology.

Findings

The outcomes of this investigation shed light on the positive influence of marketing management knowledge on the effectiveness of SBL. However, it was observed that problem-solving and critical thinking skills, financial management and production management knowledge did not exhibit a statistically significant impact on the effectiveness of SBL.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering valuable insights into how students engage with and derive learning outcomes from simulation-based educational tools. The findings underscore the pivotal role of integrating SBL into the broader pedagogical framework to enhance the overall learning experience.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the paper is to determine the importance of digital literacy (DL) in educational supply chain (EduSC) sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach

A semi-systematic review technique was used with Google Scholar and Scopus databases.

Findings

The growing use of technology and digital resources revealed a significant digital divide between people, educational processes and access to technologies and suitable infrastructures, as well as the need for DL, particularly in the EduSC in the 21st century. According to the results, just 58.6% of EduSC researchers emphasize economic sustainability, while 72.4% emphasize environmental sustainability. A total of 93.1% of scholars examine the impact of DL on society, demonstrating the significance of DL in the EduSC.

Originality/value

DL was discovered to have the greatest impact on society, with students and educators being related to all processes in an EduSC.
