Approaches
Horwitz (2002) distinguishes 3 technical components: “ Basically, visualizations are what we choose to show users, simulations are what we let them do. And models are what link the two. In the case of educational software, the design of the visualizations, simulations, and models will depend critically on what is being taught, for what purpose, and to whom.”
