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…

Cohen, Eli – 1980
Written for developers of classroom simulation who may wish to transfer their skills to the computer medium, this paper describes the procedures for writing and developing an educational simulation on a computer. Steps in the procedure include conceptualizing the problem to be simulated, operationalizing the variables, examining pedagogical…

Lopus, Jane; Placone, Dennis – Journal of Economic Education, 2002
Identifies a Web site providing information about stock market simulations for high school economics courses. Divides the information into two tables: (1) the structure of online stock market games; and (2) the determination of portfolio values of online stock market games. States that changes and updates are available at Web sites. (JEH)
