= Welcome to "Using Simulations to Assess Student Learning" = = =

"Ever wonder how applets or interactivities could be used to assess student learning? In this workshop we will explore how interactive tools can be used to assess higher order thinking in students using screencasting. While the primary focus will be on math and science applets, we will explore interactivites to a lesser degree in the humanities."
