Mobile text messaging provides a novel opportunity to engage learners in collaborative learning experiences. This study describes the use of mobile text messaging to engage learners in an interactive role-playing game based on the water cycle. Learners were guided through their role in this participatory simulation using SMS messages sent to their mobile phones. Learners’ physical positions in ...

Simulation physics, as a mode of instructional applications, in physics teaching has been widely used. So instructional design of simulation physics experiments is particularly important problems. This paper focuses on the simulation experiments design in teaching and learning

In order to get more people to use and understand simulation, improved teaching of simulation to beginners is important. The panel members share their experience in teaching the classic systems of simulation, used for several decades, to novice students.

This paper describes experiences in teaching of a Modelling and simulation course at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences. The course consists of continuous simulation based on System Dynamics (SD) and discrete event simulation (DES). When enrolling the course the students have already taken courses of Mathematics, Statistics, Systems Theory, as well as Organization and Economics. The final g...

It is widely believed that the major purpose of foreign language learning is to master the speaking skill of that language. Learners even evaluate their foreign language learning on the basis of their achievement in speaking proficiency. This study discusses different teaching methodologies aimed at the development of task-based language learning, drama and the manifestation of scenario-based t...

Technology has created a new dimension for visual teaching and learning with web-delivered interactive media. The Virtual Labs Project has embraced this technology with instructional design and evaluation methodologies behind the simPHYSIO suite of simulation-based, online interactive teaching modules in physiology for the Stanford students. In addition, simPHYSIO provides the convenience of an...
