Meaningful Notebooks and Enhanced Learning Using a Totally Menu-Driven Data Base and Decision Support Systems (DSS) Program
Abstract
Journals, also called notebooks or log books, are frequently used in conjunction with computerized business simulations. This paper discusses the use of notebooks, as a form of learning device. The paper takes the position that while notebooks are used by most instructors -- as a written assignment to accompany the simulation -- instructors are not sure what to expect of notebooks and/or have no criteria by which to evaluate notebooks. The paper suggests that a notebook’s use can be enhanced through the use of menudriven computer support programs. The paper describes one such support program written with LOTUS 1-2-3 (release 2.00)TM for the DECIDETM simulation.Downloads
