Free, Nicholas; Menendez, Hector M., III; Tedeschi, Luis O. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The lack of real-life experiences, such as handling livestock at a production facility (e.g., ranch), exists for a variety of reasons such as availability, liability, time, and cost, amongst others. As more students enter undergraduate animal science programs without prior exposure to animal handling, the necessity for more hands-on, real-life…

Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Shih, Meilun; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tseng, Yi-Chen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the affordances of participatory simulations by comparing students' models of engagement and science learning outcomes in a multi-team participatory simulated game (MPSG) and a single-team participatory simulated game (SPSG). Two versions of a mobile-based game about marine fishery management were…

Kloepper, Marcia Owens; Zweiacher, Ed; Curtis, Pat; Evert, Amanda – Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J1), 2010
This article highlights how two institutions--Redlands Community College (RCC) and Auburn University--teamed up to create a virtual world called Eagle Island, where learners enter to learn all they need to know about poultry science. Eagle Island, located in Second Life, provides an opportunity to tour a real-life food processing…

Engler, Kevin P. – 1989
Computer models have definite limitations regarding the representation of biological systems, but they do have useful applications in reducing the number of animals used to study physiological systems, especially for educational purposes. This guide lists computer models that simulate living systems and can be used to demonstrate physiological,…
