This article "a new proposal for practical training called SIMULACRE, which is based on a model that combines the theory of simulation games, problem-solving and cooperative learning." As the description suggests, students work cooperatively in a virtual environment to solve problems. "The students compare and contrast various views and then opt for a single proposed solution after taking into account the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats." (This sounds more like collaboration than cooperation) The paper describes an application of the model and evaluations after the learning process (n=80, so don't interpret the data quantitatively, as the sample is too small).
