WallCology: Design of a Simulation Engine for Learners’ Embodied Inquiry in Population Ecology
WallCology is a population ecology simulation built on the Embedded Phenomena framework. The primary motivation for the creation of WallCology is to bring an engaging and authentic means of studying ecology in the classroom with technologies that are readily available in most classrooms. WallCology, currently in its third iteration and has been studied in three different classrooms. Student and teacher feedback from these studies have helped to continuously modify and expand the simulation.
