 Simulations to stimulate the learning process |
||
| Some examples of Sobjoy's simulations | Sobjoy specialises in creating
interactive pictorial resources to help explain things. Sobjoy's simulations
can be applied in education (for example teaching numeracy to FE students)
and in commercial areas (for instance showing how a proposed device might
work before it is possible to place it with users). If you have a requirement that might be addressed by the use of precision computer-based animations, please contact Sobjoy. |

| Teaching technical subjects can be
a challenge, especially when the subject matter is a little dry - and for
many students, it doesn't come drier than maths. But if you can wrap the
maths in a subject that interests the student, you have a much better chance
of success. So when Sobjoy sets out to provide a tutorial on ratios for
auto-engineering students, the idea of dressing it up as a rally car is an
obvious one. Students can play with different gear ratios, changing axle ratios and seeing the effect via a series of rev-counters. The maths becomes almost incidental, but very visible. This is a very useful aid to improving students' numeracy skills. |
