Overview
Sim Map combines simulations with concept mapping tools to teach and assess subjects
Unlike a teach-then-test model, Sim Map uses a simulation and a guided discovery model alongside a concept map to merge learning and the assessment
Sim Map technology allows data to pass between simulation and concept map, providing faster assessment feedback and support for failure
The goal: deep learning
Starting Version
Left side: the simulation Tools: Query,
poke, add/remove, play/pause
Example: Queried Tree
Starting Version
Right side: the concept map Tools: Links,
linking labels, concepts, structure
Example: Concepts
Starting Version
Initially, the simulation is simple, showing only the major concepts and a few
relationships
Completed Version
As the user defines these concepts and relationships, additional details pop into
the simulation
Different Teaching Methods Sim Map supports different style of
teaching and scaffolding within concept mapping
Examining Concept Maps as an Assessment Tool, Ruiz-Primo, M., 2004
Different Assessment Methods Other methods of using Sim Map for
assessment include Teachable Agents ‘taking a test’
