Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jong, T. de; Van Joolingen, W. R.; Swaak, J.; Veermans, K.; Limbach, R.; King, S.; Gureghain, D. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1998
Describes the basic mechanisms of the SimQuest, an authoring system for designing/creating simulation-based learning environments. The functionality authors have in providing the learner with guidance and experiences on how authors use opportunities and learners employ the cognitive support are reported.(Author)

Tools for Exploratory Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bliss, Joan; Ogborn, Jon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1989
Discusses the nature and function of mental models, explains tools for exploratory and expressive learning, and describes a research program to be conducted in the United Kingdom for 10- to 16-year-olds that is designed to explore characteristics of students' mental models. Highlights include knowledge domains; software, including simulations; and…

Studying a Complex Knowledge Domain by Exploration or Explanation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beishuizen, J. J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1992
Discussion of teaching complex knowledge domains through exploration highlights two experiments that investigated the educational value of a Dutch computer simulation program which models the relationship between erosion and agriculture in a developing country as part of the secondary school geography curriculum. Learning by doing versus learning…
