Unlike ordinary computer simulations that imitate the conditions of a real-life situation and allow several variables to be input, job simulations program a microcomputer to simulate the functions of one or more pieces of business or office equipment and to provide hands-on, interactive instruction to students on how to use that equipment. Good…
