Patterns of use of an agent-based model and a system dynamics model: The application of patterns of use and the impacts on learning outcomes
Kate Thompson; Peter Reimann
Computers & Education Vol. 54, No. 2 (February 2010) pp. 392–403
A classification system that was developed for the use of agent-based models was applied to strategies used by school-aged students to interrogate an agent-based model and a system dynamics model. These were compared, and relationships between...

Designing, using and evaluating learning spaces: the generation of actionable knowledge
Paul Flynn; Kate Thompson; Peter Goodyear
Australasian Journal of Educational Technology Vol. 34, No. 6 (Dec 18, 2018)
Digital educational technologies, like communication technologies more generally, can undermine the tyranny of distance. If we are not careful, we can slip into thinking that they make space and place irrelevant. This is not the case, as the papers...
