In summary, "Learning by Simulations" is an educational approach that uses interactive simulations to teach concepts and skills. It improves learning by providing hands-on, engaging, and interactive experiences, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Almost any subject can be taught through this method, and it has several benefits, including increased student engagement and motivation. However, there are limitations, such as the time and resources required to develop simulations and potential difficulties for some learners.

A growing collection of (now 40+) Windows-executables (work fine under Wine) focusing on math, physics, computer sciences and chemistry can be found here: http://www.vias.org/simulations/index.html"

Some of these little programs (no installation needed, Creative Commons License) I found pretty usefull for (private) tutoring.

BTW: The http://www.vias.org/simulations/simusoft_travsalm.html" even gave me a "Zen-moment".

What is "Learning by Simulations"?

"Learning by Simulations" is an educational approach that uses interactive simulations to teach concepts and skills. It involves creating virtual environments that allow learners to explore and experiment in a safe and controlled setting.

How does "Learning by Simulations" improve learning?

"Learning by Simulations" has been shown to improve learning by providing learners with a hands-on, engaging, and interactive experience. It allows for active learning and promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

What subjects can be taught through "Learning by Simulations"?

Almost any subject can be taught through "Learning by Simulations", as long as there is a way to create a virtual environment that simulates real-life scenarios related to the subject. Some common subjects include science, mathematics, history, and business.

What are the benefits of using "Learning by Simulations" in education?

There are several benefits of using "Learning by Simulations" in education, such as increasing student engagement and motivation, providing a safe and controlled learning environment, and allowing for repeated practice and immediate feedback. It also promotes active learning and can accommodate different learning styles.

Are there any limitations to using "Learning by Simulations"?

While "Learning by Simulations" has many benefits, it also has some limitations. It can be time-consuming and resource-intensive to develop high-quality simulations. It may also not be suitable for all subjects or learning objectives, and some learners may struggle with the technology involved.
