Some principles

1

Principle of model-driven simulations:

2

Here you see the real life in stock market. You know the future when you understand the history. (Just as a user can learn in web-based learning environments with model-driven simulations.)

3

Principle of learning

4

Principle of intelligent feedback: here video fragments:

5

Simulation site with CARDIO; built with JavaTHESIS and 'SimLib':

6

Principle of a learning environment, based on model-driven simulation is to get beter insight in a realistic dynamical phenomenon and insight between input and output, or parameters and variables, of that phenomenon.

The instructor ('Rik') (parallel)

The concept model with the interventions.               Output: 'Maurice' and his complaints

The user (the learner: a pupil, a student, a trainee, etc.)

7

Two demonstration versions

Maurice: version a.

Jopie: version b.

8

A second example: 'TRANSISOR'

9

Two more demonstration versions

Transistor: version 2002x.

Sun heater: version 2002x.
