Interactive computer simulations of genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
This article describes three interactive software simulations targeted to key domains of modern molecular genetics: genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. These simulations allow students to deepen their understanding of key principles in these domains by setting up crosses, designing proteins, and designing genes; the simulations then apply these principles to produce results that the ...
متن کاملTowards Interactive Tools for Constructing Articulate Simulations
Having learners construct computer-based simulations is becoming increasingly important as an approach to induce learning. Qualitative simulations incorporate a rich vocabulary for articulating insights about systems and their behaviours, including notions such as structural constituents, identifying qualitatively distinct behaviours, and making explicit the causal dependencies that govern a sy...
متن کاملComputer simulations as experiments
Whereas computer simulations involve no direct physical interaction between the machine they are run on and the physical systems they are used to investigate, they are often used as experiments and yield data about these systems. It is commonly argued that they do so because they are implemented on physical machines. We claim that physicality is not necessary for their representational and pred...
متن کاملWork in progress - Interactive signal-processing labs and simulations on iOS devices
Handheld devices are increasingly finding more applications in STEM education. In this paper, we present the design of an interactive signal processing simulation software operating on both the iPhone OS (iOS) and Android platforms. This object-oriented application is called i-JDSP and is conceptually based on the award-winning Java-DSP (J-DSP) simulation environment. The i-JDSP app offers a us...
متن کاملInvestigating the experience of translation technology labs: pedagogical implications
This article presents an on-going evaluation of translation technology lab sessions in a university setting. Lab sessions are practical supplements that allow student translators to develop upon what has already been learned in theory via traditional lectures. Both of these components develop the technical competencies required for professional work in translation, post-editing, and related are...
