Digitalisation nowadays impacts business environments significantly. Therefore, if higher education wants to educate students properly for a successful career path, the business and economics curriculum must be enriched with innovative teaching approaches covering actual topics, such as, for example, the implementation of the ERPsim business simulation, a representative of serious games. The ERPsim business simulation is based on SAP ERP, and is aimed at teaching ERP concepts. It covers different business processes, and allows students to learn using a hands-on approach, simulating real-life scenarios. The presented research focuses on using an ERPsim business simulation as the introduction to the course. The simulation was implemented to ease the introduction of ERP and IT concepts to the business and economic oriented students. Considering the positive effects of serious games and gamification, our research was formed and focused on knowledge acquisition and future student engagement. We researched whether participation in the introductory simulation results in significant knowledge gain and impacts students’ future course engagement. The data were gathered using a self-assessment questionnaire before and after an introductory simulation. The results were highly positive, confirming many positive aspects of business simulation, among others, significant knowledge increase in the domains of business process and ERP transactions, and in the domain of technical knowledge for SAP ERP. The results confirmed that the introductory simulation is appropriate for introducing ERP concepts to newcomers, and, nevertheless, confirmed the positive impact on their intent on future course engagement.

“…The objective function maximizes the total collected reward (15). The constraints ensure that: (i) the route starts from node 1 and ends at node |N| (16); (ii) the connectivity of a route guarantees that each node is visited at most once ( 17); (iii) the total travel time is limited by T max (18); and (iv) subtours are prevented (19,20).…”

In the context of the DigiLab4U international project, this paper describes a simulation-based serious game that can be used as a virtual teaching lab in higher education courses, especially in Industrial and Systems Engineering, Data Science, Management Science and Operations Research, as well as Computer Science. The learning activity focuses on understanding distribution logistics problems related to transportation optimization using different techniques. These optimization challenges include the vehicle routing problem, the arc routing problem, and the team orienteering problem. As a result of the learning process in the virtual lab, it is expected that students acquire competencies and skills related to logistics and transportation challenges as well as problem-solving. These competencies and skills can be precious for students’ future careers, since they increase students’ analytical skills, capacity to understand heuristic-based algorithms, teamwork and interdisciplinary communication skills, programming skills, and statistical abilities. A preliminary version of this training activity has already been used in MSc and PhD courses held at universities in Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Portugal.

“…There are three main ideas contained in educational innovation, among others: a) conscious and planned effort, education as a conscious and planned effort, shows that education is a deliberate and well thought out process or intellectual work process, the desired education is developmental education and humanistic, which seeks to develop the full potential of students, not the formation of behavioral styles, b) creating a learning atmosphere that allows students to develop their potential actively; and c) have spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed by himself, society, nation, and state (López et al, 2021). In other words, education is not secular education, not individual education, and not social education, but education, which seeks to strike a balance between the three dimensions.…”

This study aims to determine digital marketing management in inclusive education. The research method is qualitative with the type of literature study. The study found that digital marketing is coordinated by a public relations representative, involving all teachers so that they are not seen as inclusive and equal to other schools. Students with special needs who live in boarding schools receive more religious lessons and skills assignments as additional activities in addition to regular study. Parents feel calm and comfortable if their children participate in activities in boarding schools so that they can interact and communicate more with their friends. Inclusive education services demonstrate independence and build community trust to meet student needs. Muhammadiyah association can provide educational institutions with the best services for students with special needs is a command in Islam.
