Adaptive Student Outcomes Based on Realistic Simulations

Step 2 - SimulationSimulation engines process mathematical simulations

Step 4 – AdaptAdaptive quiz questions,

theory and student feedback is given based on results and adaptive

algorithms

Step 1 - InputStudents interact

with virtual machines

Step 3 - OutputStudents receive

individual results based on their input parameters.
