Overview

Class Central Tips
In this guided project you will learn how to use the HubNet technology from the NetLogo modelling environment. HubNet makes it possible to create participatory simulations where users can interact simultaneously in the same simulation using networked computers. By doing so, they are able to collectively enact the behavior of a system. You will learn how to use HubNet in the context of the BeeSmart Hive Finding model, which has been created from the observations described in the book HoneyBee Democracy. Finally, you will be shown the first steps to design your own custom HubNet activities, modeled after phenomena you find relevant.

Syllabus

  • Project Overview
    • Digital (device mediated) education has challenges when it comes to creating collective learning experiences. This guided project intends to introduce a technology that makes it possible for multiple participants “to take part in enacting the behavior of a system as each student controls a part of the system (simulation) by using an individual device” as means to both teach complexity in practice and democratize the digital space. The learner will be able to set up a NetLogo server (HubNet) that can be used to connect and integrate multiple participants in the same agent-based simulation.
