Shane V. Crowley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This paper outlines the design of an interactive simulation of Stokes' law, which is used frequently in the study of particle sedimentation and flotation. The software application includes dynamic visualizations and statistical outputs. Descriptions of how the simulation can be used in a teaching context are provided. The application and its…

Salgo, Alexander; O'Shea, Galen; Hellemans, Kim; Davies, Jim – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
We introduce an open-source game-like educational software that teaches users about how action potentials work. The Postsynaptic Simulator requires users to demonstrate understanding of neural mechanisms to progress through levels, each of which teaches a different aspect of neuron activity. [For the full proceedings, see ED621108.]
