(based on the concept of parallelism and the PI theory for designing open web environments)

== learn to build your own learning enviroments with you own applets ==

Here you see a simulator about the Dutch economy. The user
can learn how an small open economy runs.

OBJECTIVES

CONTENTS

partly in English partly in Dutch

Part 1: The organisation of the course

  • The first task is: what is simulation; why we use it; and how can we develop it? (on internet)
  • The second task is: built your own simulation in an information-rich, web-based environment.

    • Part 2: The texts: papers and/or chapters of books

    1st series of texts (introduction):

  • introduction on educational applets and parallellism (the concept and the theory)
  • paper the concept of parallellism (original)
  • paper about the Parallel Instruction Theory for instruction (original)

    2nd serie texts (theory):

  • papers about theoretical backgrounds
    The research question is: why these theories are so important for learning enviroments, especially the learning environments who are based on simulations and/or microworlds? (References) (Abstracts)

    3rd serie texts (product aspects):

  • paper about Micro-Worlds on the World Wide Web: Dynamical Learning Environments

    4th serie texts (learning aspects):

  • paper about Simulation and Discovery Learning in an age of Zapping and Searching

    5th serie texts (model aspects):

  • paper about mathematical models (explanation)
  • paper about designing and design-systems (1988)

    6th serie texts (a model of learning):

  • paper about a concept model for learning an attempt to define a proper relations scheme between instruction and learning and to establish the dynamics of learning in relation to motivation, intelligence and study-ability
    •

    Part 3: The paractical part of the course

    Theoretische design-knowledge:
  • 1. about kinds of representation
  • 2. about kinds of presentation
  • 3. about kinds of visualisation

    Developing simulation software:

  • 4. about het JavaTHESIS systeem
    •

    Part 4: Research stuff; experimental environments

  • examples of experimental working-environments:
  • examples of experimental web-based learning environments:
    •

    Part 5: Sheets

  • Jan, 6, 2003: introduction in e-learning, doing-environments, micro-worlds & simulations
  • Jan. 13, 2003: introduction in models and model-driven simulations
  • Jan. 20, 2003: introduction in the theories
  • Febr. 3 and 10, 2003: web-technology
  • Febr. 17, 2003: a model of learning (Febr. 20, 2002).
  • Febr. xx, 2003: reflection, examples and best practices (Febr. 13, 2002)
