Educational Classification ofTeaching Tools Nothing is new here !!!
Educational Classification ofTeaching Tools • Theory oriented • Fosters cognitive skills • Top down approach • Communication • Self organized learning • Bottom up approach
Educational Classification ofTeaching Tools Student Motivation Theory Relevance
Educational Classification ofTeaching Tools • IS Curve (pseudo dynamic)Simulation • IS-LM-BB Curve (pseudo dynamic) Simulation • Money Supply Simulation • ATMUS a game theorytournament • Grade Calculator • Adhoc Quizzer • Study Planner
ATMUS Game Theory Tournament Prisoners’ Dilemma Multi Round Situation
ATMUS Game Theory Tournament • Strategy Generator allows students to create • Standard strategies e.g. Hawk • Standard strategies e.g. Tit for Tat • Non-standard strategies: e.g. an average based strategy
ATMUS Game Theory Tournament • Tournament Presenter allows to run the tournament in the class room in different settings. Here we will choose: • Uninterrupted Tournament • Round Robin • 20 rounds for each match-up
Educational Classification ofTeaching Tools • IS Curve (pseudo dynamic)Simulation • IS-LM-BB Curve (pseudo dynamic) Simulation • Money Supply Simulation • ATMUS a game theorytournament • Grade Calculator • Ad hoc Quizzer • Study Planner
IS Model Simulation Simulates fiscal policy: e.g. G increases by 100. • Runs inside a Browser • Simulation can be loaded by its URL or • can be loaded from the Computer Assisted Teaching and Learning Website. WWW.CALCAT.DE
Educational Hierarchy ofTeaching Tools • IS Curve (pseudo dynamic)Simulation • IS-LM-BB Curve (pseudo dynamic) Simulation • Money Supply Simulation • ATMUS a game theorytournament • Grade Calculator • Adhoc Quizzer • Study Planner
IS-LM-ZZ Model Simulation Simulation runs inside Excel Simulates monetary and fiscal policy in a fixed exchange rate setting. Supplemented with a worksheet for students
