Ellinger, Robert S.; Brown, Bobby R. – 1979
This paper discusses, in general terms, when the use of computer based instructional simulation (CBIS) is appropriate, and offers suggestions on constructing an effective instructional simulation, placing a particular emphasis upon documentation. Two examples of simulation are given with descriptions of useful methods for evaluating CBIS.…

Dennis, J. Richard – 1979
This paper discusses computer simulation as a tool for teaching about phenomena characterized by a problem to be solved, a task or goal to be reached, a procedure to be learned, or an environment to be understood. Simulation is defined and characterized by an examination of both the attributes that are common to simulations, and a taxonomy…

Santos, Joseph – Journal of Economic Education, 2002
Describes the Financial System Simulator game, an Internet-based, interactive teaching aid that introduces undergraduate students to the domestic and international consequences of monetary policy. States that student surveys indicate the game keeps learners motivated and interested and helps them understand monetary policy. (JEH)

Gardner, Susan G.; Ellis, Burl D. – 1981
Seven microcomputer-based training systems with videotape players/monitors were installed to provide electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) simulation training, drill and practice, and performance testing for three courses at a fleet combat training center. Narrated videotape presentations of simulated and live jamming followed by a drill and…

Ediger, Marlow – 1985
Microcomputers can be used with simulation software to provide students both with experience in the "real world" of decision making and feedback on the decisions made. Such software allows individual students to choose the roles they wish to play from a menu of diverse roles and provides alternatives for them to consider for each decision to be…

Perry, Chad; Euler, Terry – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1989
Investigates the use of personal computer (PC) programs to help participants in simulation exercises transform their experiences into knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Six programs developed at Queensland Institute of Technology are described that involve operations management, strategic management, and macroeconomics. Examples of spreadsheets are…
