Abstract: |
This paper
presents an approach to blended learning in the area of production and
technology management. The approach complements Traditional knowledge
transfer with simulation-based experience learning. Linked to a web-based
learning management system, users have the possibility of supplementing
theory with individually paced simulation experiments, thus gaining a
profound understanding of the dynamics of complex systems. Following the
outline of a blended-learning scenario at the University of Wuppertal, the
paper describes a prototype implementation of a client/server simulation
application that has been successfully integrated in this year’s teaching. An
example of the adoption within a web-based training module sketches the
numerous possibilities of individual user interaction. |
