We've got an online application that needs to be explained. My thought is "great, we can build a mock app. in Flash and have the student 'try it out' ". They'll be prompted to click on specific links, enter specific information... and it'll be a great interactive demo. Then again, maybe not....
We're now doing a straight, instructional module... with no interactions. As far as instructional modules go, it's really not that bad. But I know it could be SO much better if it were an actual simulation. "Experiential" learning is the BEST way to teach ANYTHING. That's a fact that it seems everyone knows. So then, why do people insist on doing non-experiential modules, especially when there's this much potential on this particular topic? Mind-boggling....

Howard - I don't get it. Why don't you just do a small simulation too? These days it's pretty easy. We've been embedding them.
FYI - you should visit the LCB and my blog because I referenced you as one of the better examples of what people should be doing with blogging. I'd welcome any thoughts you have on the topic as a basis of your blogging experience.
one word: time. It's due in about 3 hours, and there will no doubt be changes that need to be made before it goes live tomorrow night.
