Marion, Rodger; Niebuhr, Bruce R. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1986
Discusses an algorithm for developing problem solving simulations using microcomputers, and describes both the components of the simulation algorithm and the user interface. Examples of simulation and programming methods are presented. (MBR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Simulation, Computer Software, Design
Hinze, Kenneth E. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1984
Describes instructional use of a microcomputer version of the WORLD2 global population-ecology simulation. Reactions of students and instructors are discussed and a WORLD2 simulation assignment is appended. The BASIC version used by the author runs on Apple II, DOS 3.3, with 80 column board. (MBR)

Bajgier, Steve M.; Atkinson, MaryAnne – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Describes the use of a simulated learning environment (SLE) as an instructional aid in teaching multivariate statistics, particularly inferential statistics. A prototype microcomputer-based SLE called MVWORLD developed at Drexel University for upper level statistics courses is explained, and implementing a statistics laboratory for multivariate…

Garson, G. David – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Discussion of the use of computer simulation in the social sciences highlights types of simulation strategies and their combinations in comprehensive simulations. The strengths and weaknesses of simulations as instructional and research tools are examined, examples are given, and design issues arising in each type are explored. (29 references)…
