Two manuals address self-advocacy and assertiveness training for college students with language learning disabilities (LD) and their tutors. Part I examines the positive use of assertiveness and self-advocacy. Assertiveness is distinguished from aggressiveness, and the importance of assertiveness in the lives of LD college students is underlined.…

Discusses the successful introduction of computer applications into large, multisection undergraduate courses that meet the mathematics requirements for students planning to major in business. (Author/IRT)

This article reports a simulation at Sangamon State University, "Orientation SSU Style," used for the orientation of new students. (HB)

The "Reciprocity" simulation game results in players' learning how social structures (roles and resources) influence social interaction (degree of fair exchange between partners). Variations of "Reciprocity" can be used to teach the dynamics of conflict/exchange/power in the context of pre-marital, marital, parental or counselor-client…

The process by which the computer simulation game KINGDOM was designed, is described, as well as other programs ( RAMSES, PLAYER, and MASTER) which were subsequently developed to simulate various human strategies for playing the game. Rules for playing KINGDOM and a sample print-out are included. (CMV)

Four approaches to simulation games are described; the puzzle approach, the colleague consultation, the geometry approach, and the inquiry approach. A sample geography game suitable for eighth grade students is described in detail. (STS)

Educational uses and implications of small inexpensive computers are discussed. (STS)

A simulation game entitled "Return on Investment" has proved effective in communicating to high school senior economics students the challenges involved in managing a large business. (Author/STS)

Describes a relatively inexpensive system which allows students in a digital control course hands-on experience in the implementation of control algorithms on a variety of processes. The system uses two computers, one for real time simulation of the process and the other for implementation of the digital control algorithms. (JN)

Resources on games and simulations are provided. These include organizations, sources, teacher materials, and descriptions of a sampling of games and simulations. (RM)

To evaluate the use of computer graphics for illustrating kinematics in an undergraduate course, a student project of mechanism simulation and analysis was carried out using a recently acquired workstation. This project is described. (JN)

Ohio State University's Construction Operation Simulation Laboratory uses experiential exercises to simulate different types of construction engineering and management operations for undergraduate/graduate students. It consists of four centers or rooms, each of which houses a specific facility. Describes the development of the laboratory and each…

Computer simulations have four general educational uses in remedial and special education: learning about systems analysis, understanding a real-world system, applying functional skills in realistic settings, and exploring fantasy worlds through adventure games. Potential uses include computer assisted video instruction to teach functional and…

Intended for use in grades 2-6, this workbook uses an interactive simulation that teaches community cooperation skills. The unit is designed so that jobs, responsibilities, and requirements can be added or modified to provide a comfortable fit for every classroom. Students define their local community, identify local community workers, understand…
