Australian Flexible Learning Network- A Look At Simulations

Simulations are a great way of incorporating realistic activities into a learning experience. They can range from fully developed graphical interfaces to games to simple computational models. The examples given here are not high end games or educational experiences like flight simulators rather they demonstrate simulations that can be created on modest budgets. Many toolboxes are examples of simulated environments, too.
