Learning environments for simulation education: design principles for teaching simulation with explorative learning environments

ABSTRACT

Teaching the highly complex domain of simulation requires well-elaborated strategies for efficient education. In this paper we present a well-structured approach to define the requirements for web-based simulation courses. Our approach is based on the Essen Learning Model (ELM) (Pawlowski 2000), a development model supporting the development and specification of learning environments. The results of the Essen Learning Model development process describe the requirements for a learning environment being used in a computer based simulation course for graduate student of business information systems.
