Foreword
Since some decades, computer simulations have become a part and parcel of advanced learning environments. This book addresses the nature of simulation from multiple perspectives and within a variety of contexts in order to provide a foundation for its effective integration into education and learning. Actually, while much has been written about models and simulations, little has been written about the underlying theoretical and epistemological foundations. In addition, there are also several shortcomings with regard to the instructional design principles and the varieties of ways for effective use
