Tutorials
AR Learning
Description
The fourth industrial revolution aka Industry 4.0 has impacted the Higher Educational (HE) sector in many ways. Opportunities and challenges such as emerging educational technologies, students with highly developed digital skills entering HE, curriculum design for both existing and emerging disciplines just to name a few need to be addressed in teaching & learning related research preparing the HE sector.
This workshop focusses on research addressing the opportunities and challenges of creating innovative learning spaces for the 21st century.
In particular, we will be discussing
- The new learner characteristics
- Opportunities and challenges for the education sector
- Creating innovative learning spaces for the 21st century
- Augmented Reality (AR) in education
- An overview
- Technologies
- Opportunities
- Case Study
System Dynamics Modeling & Simulation with SILICO.APP
Description
Through this tutorial, attendees will learn how to move from a problem description to the development of a system dynamics running model, that can be simulated in order to explore different strategies of a production company, willing to balance inventory levels with potential demand variations. The attendees will learn how to develop stocks & flows structures, how to introduce feedback in the model and how to use simple algebraic formulas in order to derive pretty complex system’s behavior. The behavior of the system over time, in response to demand input, will be visualized and analyzed in detail. It is suggested to register to http://silico.app before attending the Tutorial: a free-of-charge registration is available for basic plans.
