Simulation-led Learning in Nanotechnology

The following resources are designed to help both instructors and students achieve enjoyable and effective learning through the imaginative use of nanoHUB simulations to explore nanotechnology across a range of application areas.

The resources are organized so they can be navigated easily according to the immediate needs of the instructor or the student. There is a hierarchy of resource types from left to right that encourages a shift from teacher-centric to more learner-centric approaches.

For those instructors wanting to get a quick start on introducing simulation based learning strategies in their courses there are already developed course materials. For those who are already using nanoHUB and want to become more effective there are FAQs. For students who need general advice on how the make the most of simulations in their learning there are a set of FAQs. For instructors who want to design high impact courses or other learning materials based on clear learning objectives and integrated assessment there is an online tutorial that draws on the latest research about "How People Learn."
