Computer-aided means of exploring complex causality

Since you are at Harvard, get in touch with the System Dynamics in
Education group. Im sure they can give you everything you seek.

Computer-aided means of exploring complex causality

Linda,

STELLA and iThink are the same thing, in essence. STELLA is specifically
for education so it is a better one to cite. VenSim PLE should definitely
be included. I think you should check out Model It thoroughly- I dont
know whether it actually helps children explore complex causality. I think
that the variables do not have to be causal.

Good Luck- and I would love to have such a list with descriptions!!!
