The authors are law researchers and medical researchers. We planned interdisciplinary workshops including both legal and medical viewpoints. Encouraging medical students to understand the importance of confidentiality and its exceptions, we studied others' academic fields together over eight years, and established a fixed style of scenario-based group discussions. As a unique characteristic of this project, it includes actual students of law and other fields as facilitators to encourage mobility and circulation among disciplines. The workshop has continued since 2009, once a year. Results of student evaluations show their enhanced understanding of confidentiality as a core value of safety and sustainable medical systems. Other teaching purposes have mostly succeeded. Facilitators regard this workshop as a good opportunity to explore interdisciplinary studies as well. That interest maintains and reinforces the close relationship between these disciplines of study. Therefore, the authors conclude that this innovative workshop is very effective.

Basic contents of teaching SCC at a university are explanation of SCC's theory and successful case studies. Moreover, some teachers use SCC computer games in the lecture as educational assistance. Regarding development of a SCC computer game themselves, the more they want to teach SCC knowledge, the more the computer game becomes complicated. These circumstances are satisfied by teachers, but students might feel embarrassment. Students, except some very good students, assume that managing SCC theory and many parameters for operating SCC computer game are extremely difficult, such that they can not be used. To resolve these misunderstandings, the authors developed simple SCC analogue games. As described in this report, the basic idea of BASE SCC games and the educational effectiveness of applying SCC games to the lecture of SIIT Thammasat University are introduced.
How to Describe a Large Business on a Business Board Game: An Illustration of Construction Company

We defined two principles, “cutoff branch” and “gradualism.” By applying them, we have succeeded in developing three different game sets called BASE Construction Game (BCG). We tested all games at Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University, from February to April 2018. To evaluate their teaching effectiveness, we conducted four questionnaire surveys. The results showed that BCG satisfied all learning goals and can be further improved in the future.

Social distance was recommended for reducing infection risk. Many people have avoided surrounding tables. Furthermore, disinfection is required for objects that have been touched by others. These precautions all degrade the analog game experience. Analog games will disappear if nothing is done. Therefore, the authors examined methods to apply the virtues of analog games to online lectures.

Throughout the experience, we aimed to have more options especially on the supply-side. To attach a new rule makes a game complex. Therefore, we designed this new business game by utilizing physical blocks on the same topic, but from the opposite standpoint of SCC and named it "SCC-X." SCC-X is an on-demand manufacturing game based on students' close collaborations to procure correct raw materials. If we increase the variety of products been extended more than SCC, and we can reflect more on reality in the SCC series. In this paper, the basic idea of BASE SCC-X and the educational effectiveness of applying SCC-X games to the lecture of two Universities are introduced.
Experimental Teaching of Collaborative Knowledge Creation Using Analogue Games

However, it is difficult to teach it using a traditional lecture style at a university. To resolve this difficulty, the authors apply BASE business games, a participation-type education technique using analogue games, to teaching collaborative knowledge creation. As described herein, the authors used the SCC game and the SCC2 game, which are BASE business games, at the School of Management Technology (MT) of the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University in 2014 and 2015. The authors analyzed student responses to a questionnaire from a collaborative knowledge creation perspective. Results show that this teaching method enhances their knowledge into meaningful experiences and encourages students to experience elementary collaborative knowledge creation with others.

BMG is a standard for following BASE business games and authors have been continuing board development in Japan and Thailand.
Business Game Promoting Supply Chain Collaboration Education at Universities

To resolve the two difficulties above simultaneously, the authors have been developing original analogue business games since 2007: BASE business games. The authors created the BASE Supply Chain Collaboration Games (BASE-SCC), which are specified for learning supply chain collaboration. These business games require that students form teams and manage simulated companies as smartphone assemblers. The authors applied the games for students at Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University. The results of questionnaire analysis demonstrate that the participants enjoyed the games and acquired necessary management skills through the game experiences. Furthermore, the authors confirmed that the games have reproducibility as educational materials.

Based on good communications, to control software development, skills for management of human resources, process, cash and others have become vitally necessary. To provide opportunities to learn such skills related to technology, we developed a board game called the Software Kaihatsu Game (SKG; Kaihatsu means 'development' in Japanese) in 2009. Students form teams to manage software firms, and assume roles as a Chief Executive Officer (CFO) or Project Manager.

In the real business world, specialized knowledge alone is insufficient to produce or find business solutions. Therefore, they must learn corporate management. Nevertheless, it is hard to teach corporate management to students during a short time at the university level using conventional teaching methods alone. As one of the methods to solve the problem, the authors attempt to apply BASE business games, participation-type education technique, to the teaching of elementary corporate management as experimental. In this paper, the authors introduce a concept of SCC and SCC2 games, which is one of BASE business games. As one trial case, the authors apply them to the lecture of SIIT Thammasat University and conduct the questionnaire research for checking the effectiveness of this teaching method. These results show that students learned elementary corporate management and acquired a holistic view of directorate as experimental. Therefore, this teaching method is suitable for grasping elementary corporate management.

Agriculture is a large sector of the Thailand economy, and there is a need to educate farmers and other people in the agricultural business to become more innovative. The basics of this board game were as follows: First, the cattle are selected. Then the players purchase land and fix their assets and procure more cattle. Players provide Corn is as food for their cattle. Finally, the players raise the cattle until they are enough to be sold through bidding. Throughout the experience of playing the game, participants can gain basic knowledge of the agricultural business. Besides, they also learn the essentials of market mechanisms and accounting.
