Abstract

We have developed a lesson in which learners interactively construct a qualitative representation about climate change and the decline of biodiversity by using the online software DynaLearn. They are supported by a built-in support function to notice mistakes, and they can run simulations to explore system behavior. Throughout the lesson, learners are guided by a workbook providing necessary information step by step.
