Baloian, Nelson; Pino, Jose A.; Hardings, Jens – Interactive Learning Environments, 2011
The discovery or re-construction of scientific explanations and understanding based on experience is a complex process, for which school learning often uses shortcuts. On the basis of the example of analyzing real seismic measurements, we propose a computer-facilitated collaborative learning scenario which meets many of the requirements for…

Guevara-Cedeno, J. Y.; Palma-Behnke, R.; Uribe, R. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
In the field of electricity markets, the development of training tools for engineers has been extremely useful. A novel experimental economics approach based on a computational Web platform of an electricity market is proposed here for the practical teaching of electrical engineering students. The approach is designed to diminish the gap that…
