Abstract: |
To develop logistics simulation
competence does not require just to advance knowledge on the simulation
methodology in general and its applicability to logistics problems in
particular, but even more to advance abilities and practical skills in
creating and implementing a valid simulation model to solve a specific
logistics problem. In traditional classroom- based learning this is well
established via simulation exercises and labs. The challenge consists in
incorporating those case studies in a virtual learning environment in such a
way that both self-organised problem-solving
at different levels of difficulty and automatic evaluation and assessment of
learner-specific approaches and solutions become possible. The paper
demonstrates how modelling and simulation might be
linked with learning in a virtual logistics learning environment and
introduces a virtual simulation lab to enable self-experienced
learning-by-doing. With this, the paper sets up a framework for creating
interactive exercises and case studies on-the-fly and
contributes to improving simulation education in logistics. |
