The use of computerized technology is rapidly growing in the classroom and in healthcare. An emerging computer technology strategy for nursing education is the use of virtual reality simulation. This computer-based three-dimensional educational tool simulates real-life patient experiences in a risk-free environment, allows for repeated practice sessions, requires clinical decision making, expos...

The article deals with the simulation models, which are the basis of controlled animation. Visualization of simulation experiments on computer has a great significance in teaching-learning process. Animation helps not only to increase the illustrativeness but it also allows to acquire new knowledge based on own observation and own experience of the work with the model. Such computer models have...

Surgical simulation applications have been largely limited to the acquisition and assessment of technical skills. Current teaching and assessment of surgical judgment is nonsystematic and prone to error. Interest in methods to enhance the acquisition and assessment of knowledge-based (judgment) skills for intraoperative decision making has led to the application of cognitive task analysis (CTA)...

Distance Learning (DL) has emerged as an innovative teaching method and is becoming very popular in today’s education. This study examines the learning outcomes and benefits of using a simulation game in a DL environment. We found that DL brings a different learning experience to students; however, they do not necessarily regard this method as superior to the traditional face-to-face method. Th...

This paper is devoted to scenario development methodology for planning and management of business simulation games. Nowadays the high efficiency of simulation games as a training method is obvious. Requirements to this kind of training are increasing. Modern computer technologies allow developing complex simulation games that are close to real life conditions. Generation of game scenarios is no...

This article describes the virtual manufacturing environment Watfactory (freely available at http:// services03.student.math. uwaterloo.ca:8080/~stat435/ login.htm) and discusses its use in teaching process improvement. Watfactory provides a rich and realistic simulation of a manufacturing process and is accessed through a website requiring no software other than a Web browser. With Watfactory,...

Learning from a distance has become a very popular approach in education. Learning in the 21 century necessitates innovative teaching methods. Distance Learning (DL) is only one method representing this phenomenon. In the past decade, DL has been gradually been replacing traditional instruction methods. In this study we explore the learning outcomes and benefits when employing simulations in a ...

Different modulation modes of PWM technology and inverters can be selected for different types the motors, a variety AC variable frequency speed system structures also derived based on same control principle. So it brings great challenge to teaching systems. We have identified four factors that hinder students’ learning in this topic: 1) abstraction mathematical logic behind theory; 2) complexi...

Abstract Recognizing vowels in Japanese second speech processing is a common research topic. Its disadvantage that separate and context recognition produces semantic font interference. This study uses Chinese words with the same syllables, font, meaning as experimental materials. The finite element analysis method used to simulate three-dimensional scene. It found difference language ability co...
