  Learner Characteristics

  Online Engagement

  and Student Success Rates

  Integrating interactive learning activities into undergraduate courses is one method for increasing student interest

  engagement

  and skills development. Online simulation games in particular offer students the unique applied opportunity to “learn by doing” in a virtual space to further their overall knowledge base and critical thinking skills. This article examines users’ experiences with Statecraft

  an online simulation game

  in an introductory International Relations course at a regional university. Positive student feedback and successful performances on assessments suggests that using this type of technology has benefits for select student learning outcomes provided the game is used in conjunction with traditional teaching and assessment strategies such as lectures

  classroom discussions

  quizzes

  and writing assignments.

  Although Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world

  secular political parties have been more successful than Islamic parties in the last four legislative elections since the country democratised in 1998. Why have Islamic parties been unable to dominate Indonesian electoral politics? This article argues that the underperformance of Islamic parties is because Islam itself is not a sufficient variable for political affiliation. Instead

  we must analyse interactions among voters

  Muslim civil society and Islamic political parties. The disconnection and fragmentation of linkages between these three levels explain electoral weaknesses over time. Original fieldwork research and survey data provide strong evidence for this argument.
