{"pk":31375,"title":"Using Stories to Enhance and Simplify Computer Simulations for Teaching","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Computer-based simulations are a valuable teaching tool because they permit a learner to explore a phenomenon on his o w n and to learn from his mistakes. T w o factors, however, limit the use of computer simulations in teaching: good simulations are hard to build and learners can flounder with just a simulation. W e have built HeRMiT^, a case-based tutor that integrates a simulation with a library of videotaped stories. The stories make up for any lack of depth or fidelity in the simulation by facilitating the generalization and application of underlying principles.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6362847w","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Richard","middle_name":"G.","last_name":"Feifer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwestern University","department":""},{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Hinrichs","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northwestern University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1992-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31375/galley/22444/download/"}]}
