Statistical Methodology for WEB-Based Simulation

This paper describes a procedure for assigning simulation trials to a set of parallel processors for the purpose of conducting a simulation study, involving a complex simulation model, in near real time. Unlike distributed simulation, where a complex simulation model is decomposed and its parts run in a parallel environment, the parallel replications approach discussed here involves running sim...

Web-based Virtual Environments for Teaching

The application of virtual worlds through Internet for teaching allows that the student can submerge himself in friendly environments that make learning more pleasant. This article presents three educational applications developed in these worlds. The first, for vocabulary learning, shows a set of virtual worlds designed in VRML where the student interacts with different objects. When an object...

Web-Based Tools for Teaching Dendrochronology

This article describes two web-based tools for teaching dendrochronology, the scientific study of tree rings, and presents quantitative evaluations of their value in a large class. Because of its wide scientific applicability, dendrochronology is appropriate for teaching in a wide array of courses, including those in the fields of natural resources and life sciences. Until recently, professors ...

Curriculum Sequencing in a Web-Based Tutor

In this paper, we discuss using a student model in a web-based course to sequence the curriculum. Since the teaching in a web-based course is usually non-linear, dynamic curriculum sequencing is important as there is not a linear path that will be appropriate for all students. Thus a student model needs to be constructed which can guide students through the non-linear curriculum. This student m...
