 | Hi,
My company is exploring our first simulation/modeling project and I am
wondering if anyone has any recommendations on the best resources (web
sites, books, software products, experts/consultants, white papers, etc)
that we could begin with to help us begin understanding the questions we
should be asking ourselves?
Our project is the simulation/modeling of a district wide education system
involving models of students, teachers, classrooms, schools, teaching
strategies, learning metrics, etc. We want to evaluate the impact of
educational software by simulating various topographies of student
demographics, time spent teaching, time students spend on tasks, classroom
sizes, resource allocation, etc. 3D visualization is not an element of the
problem, although we do want to be able to capture the state of the
simulation at discrete-events and record various metrics to a database for
later analysis and review.
Any guidance you can recommend to help us get started would be very helpful.
Regards,
Bill Moss
