This document discusses computer simulations and blended learning. It defines a computer simulation as a program that models an abstract system to study it. Computer simulations can be classified as stochastic/deterministic, steady state/dynamic, etc. They are used in fields like ecology, drug discovery, and modeling viral infections. The document also defines blended learning as a formal education program combining online and in-person learning. Blended learning has benefits like improved achievement and attitudes, but also challenges like dependence on technology and lack of motivation.

3.  A Computer Simulation or a computer model
is a computer program that attempt to
simulate on abstract model of a particular
system.
 A computer simulation is a comprehensive
method for studying system
 Computer simulation is a imitation of reality.

4. There are four common characteristics of
computer simulation
1. Model based
2. Interactive
3. Interface driven
4. Scaffold

5. Computer models can be classified according
to several independent pairs of attitudes,
including
 Stochastic or deterministic
 Steady state or dynamic
 Continuous or discrete
 Dynamic system simulation
 Local or distributed

6.  Agent based simulation has been used
effectively in ecology, where it is often
called “ individual based modeling”
 Time stepped dynamic model
 Computer using molecular modeling for drug
discovery
 Computer simulation to model viral infection
in mammalian cells.

7.  Computer simulation are used in a wide
variety of practical contents, such as
Modeling of application performance.
 Weather forecasting
 Simulation of electrical circuits
 Robot simulation for the design of robots and
robot control algorithms
 Design of complex systems such as aircraft
and also logistics systems.

8. BLENDED LEARNING
 Blended learning is a formal education
program that combines online digital media
with traditional classroom.
 It requires the physical presence of both
teacher and student, with some elements of
student control over time ,place, path or
pace.
 Blended learning is also used in professional
development and training setting.

9. BLENDED LEARNING CAN GENERALY BE
CLASSIFIED INTO SIX MODELS
 FACE TO FACE DRIVER
 ROTATION
 FLES
 LABS
 SELF BLEND
 ONLINE DRIVER

10.  It is more effective than purely face-to face or
online classes
 It results is high level of students achievement
more effective than face to face learning.
 The use of information and communication
technologies improves student attitude
towards learning
 Blended learning is inherently less expansive
than traditional classroom learning

11.  It has a strong dependence on the technical
resources.
 The blended learning experience is
delivered.
 Lack of motivation
 Plagiarism and creditability problem
