Ioannidou, Andri; Repenning, Alexander; Webb, David; Keyser, Diane; Luhn, Lisa; Daetwyler, Christof – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
Why has technology become prevalent in science education without fundamentally improving test scores or student attitudes? We claim that the core of the problem is "how" technology is being used. Technologies such as simulations are currently not used to their full potential. For instance, physiology simulations often follow textbooks by…

Miller, Max D. – Medical Teacher, 1987
Simulations provide practice in aspects of care without harm or inconvenience to the actual patient. Five types of simulations have been identified that vary in their fidelity to real situations - written simulations, three-dimensional models, computer-based patient management problems, multi-media approaches and simulated patients. Uses and…

Jones, Geoffrey – 1990
This digest considers the role of personal computers in the education of gifted students. There is evidence that students are working "smarter," whether they are learning and using more information, understanding key concepts and relationships better, or developing higher level thinking skills. Research findings concerning the specific…
