According to the website for MuseWeb, the host of the GLAMis, "The annual GLAMi (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) Awards recognize and celebrate innovative projects in the cultural heritage sector."

Susan E. Rivers , PhD, Executive Director and Chief Scientist at iThrive Games, sees immersive games as a true opportunity to support visitors in social and emotional learning.

"Play is important for all of us," she said. "It brings us together in community. Play helps us create new solutions to problems...solutions we wouldn't have thought of otherwise."

iThrive Games is pleased to offer three iThrive Sim civics scenarios for learners who are high school aged and older: Lives in Balance , which explores collaboration and compromise during a pandemic, Leading Through Crisis , which explores responsible decision-making during a critical national event, and Follow the Facts , which explores media literacy during a natural disaster.

Mira Cohen , Director of Education at Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, says the virtual simulation was an important way to keep visitors connected during the pandemic, and beyond.

"Through engaging audiences in meaningful and fun in-depth experiences, using historical records and government documents, we are able to increase our audience base, keep our current audience base engaged and further appreciation for the value of record keeping to our democracy," she said.
