Examines the literature on marketing and uses the four elements of product, price, place, and promotion to elicit guidance for those who wish to market educational games, simulations, and workshops. Devising a marketing strategy centered on the customer is discussed, and the distinction between goods and services is described. (11 references)…

This career exploration instructional booklet on the occupation of a postal employee is one of several resulting from the rural southwestern Colorado CEPAC Project (Career Education Process of Attitude Change). The content includes: (1) A brief presentation of the job functions of five types of postal employees, the traits and qualifications…

Introduces the concept of human simulators, identifies their educational advantages, and describes how the teacher can design and implement this simulation strategy. A model for the development of a human simulator is also presented. (RAO)

This occupational simulation booklet is one of several career exploration instructional units resulting from the rural southwestern Colorado CEPAC Project (Career Education Process of Attitude Change). (This simulation was designed to be used following detailed student exploration and learning in a unit on the consumer in the marketplace which…

This occupational simulation booklet on the newspaper reporter is one of several units resulting from the rural southwestern Colorado CEPAC Project (Career Education Process of Attitude Change). The purpose of this unit is to help students understand the kinds of writing that are contained in a newspaper while acquainting them with the type of…

An analog/hybrid simulation of a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) and an incremental analog-to-digital (A-D) converter are presented. An analog simulation of planar frames is also presented. (MLH)

This document, fifth in a series of 11 subvolumes of a handbook prepared to provide training for educational research and development personnel in the development of instructional materials, deals with the task of planning simulation based on instructional and logistical needs. The document content is arranged according to the sequential order of…

The decision-making game is built on a model which adheres to the economic principles of supply and demand. Game participants are faced with the task of generating profit in a simulated competitive situation. The game provides the opportunity for participants to gain a greater understanding of: (1) the relationship between income and costs and…

The CEVAL simulation exercise is appropriate for use in a workshop setting with up to 30 persons. It gives non-administrative groups--school board members, parent advisory councils, teachers, and parents--experience in making evaluative decisions, from the perspective of a school principal evaluating five special programs in an elementary school.…

Superport is a learning experience which requires students to examine how a superport and its related industries will affect the marine environment of a given geographical area. The activity is designed to provide roles for up to 90 students. The simulation begins with the students defining factors that might be related to the installation of a…

Two separate manuals give detailed instructions for setting up and carrying out simulated office practice. The simulation design covers all office skills and all kinds of office situations, from management decisions to ground rules for coffee breaks and includes handling rush jobs. Procedures and roles for seven office positions, from vice…

Instructions for using the Huntington II Simulation Program - POLUT are contained in this resource handbook. POLUT is a program written in BASIC which provides simulation of the interaction between water and waste. It creates a context within which the user can control specific variables which affect the quality of a water resource. The output is…

An overview of recent developments in the theory of observers is presented, together with a simple design method that casts the problem in the form of a full order observer. Examples of observer performance are presented which are representative and suitable as demonstrations on small analog or hybrid computers. (Author/MH)

The simulation of a sampled-data system is described that uses a full parallel hybrid computer. The sampled data system simulated illustrates the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) discrete control of a continuous second-order process representing a stirred-tank. The stirred-tank is simulated using continuous analog components, while PID…

The purpose of the leadership development training package is to provide an environmental simulation for preparing local and State officers in the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA). The package presents the participant with a learning environment relevant to the future role of DECA officer by allowing him or her to experience a…
