Our article about SimSketch finally got published in the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies! The title is “SimSketch: Multi-Agent Simulations Based on Learner-Created Sketches for Early Science Education” and currently it’s available as pre-print: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/TLT.2013.9

Hi everybody, a new version of SimSkech is out! A small bug has been fixed (which caused a crash when you would assign both a “Distribute” and a “Factory” behavior to a unit), and you can now load SimSketch files … Continue reading →

At the OCÉ Computer Science Summer Camp at the end of August, we will try to make SimSketch “kinectable”, i.e. make the user interface controllable with the Microsoft Kinect sensor. Interested students with a computer science background can still apply for … Continue reading →

As of recently, Wacom, a producer of pen-based input devices (which go nicely together with our tools), placed descriptions of our efforts and tools on their website. Have a look: http://education.wacom.eu/modern-classroom/university-of-twente
