He will present the paper at CHI 2006 conference in Montreal in April, 2006. “Embedded Phenomena: Supporting Science Learning with Classroom-sized Distributed Simulations” features a creative set of techniques that combine ambient displays and physical artifacts to create novel classroom-based learning activities. Through a set of case studies, Moher describes how persistent simulations of scientific phenomena are monitored and manipulated by students to gain a better understanding of earthquakes, planetary motion, and insect ecology.
