Additional Resources
The following additional resources may be useful background for your paper writing and model building for WEB-EM-7 and subsequently for your exam revision. You are not required to be familiar with all this material, but it may be of interest as a source of ideas and technical insights.
- Web-EDEN: Richard Myers's web-based EDEN prototype can be accessed at go.warwick.ac.uk/webeden
- Miscellaneous EM models: Here are some links to models - and model documentation in the form of posters and presentations - that have been discussed in previous years:
- a showcase of models demonstrated in CS405 in 2005-6
- a showcase of models and posters demonstrated at an EU event in July 2005: kaleidoscopeBeynon2005
- models relating to educational themes:
- interactive geometry: cogRoe1999
- illustrating "cognitive layering": racingGardner1999
- the SQL-EDDI environment as introduced in the presentation at sqleddiWard2003/Presentation
- educational software for elementary mathematics: fractionsCronick2003
- models relating to decision-support for business:
- a model for timetabling third-year project orals: projecttimetableKeen2000
- re-engineering a system to support elevator design: sisyphusNess1996
- models for restaurant management: restaurantRoe2000 and restaurantHutchings2005
- simulation of warehouse activity: warehouseChen2001
- a visualisation tool based on the work of Bob Spence: attributeexplorerRoe2000
- The EM presentation environment Antony Harfield's EM presentation environment can be found at empeHarfield2007. The model graphicspresHarfield2007 illustrates how it can be used.
