SUMMARY:EduWRENCH: Simulation-Driven Pedagogic Modules
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nEduWRENCH: Simulation-Driven Pedagogic Modules\n\n
 Koch, Zhu, Jethwani, Lee, Ferreira da Silva...\n\nIn this talk, we describ
 e recent work realized in the context of the EduWRENCH project, which  dev
 elops pedagogic modules that target Parallel and Distributed Computing (PD
 C) and High Performance Computing (HPC) learning objectives. These modules
  can be integrated piecemeal into existing university courses, have few pr
 erequisites, and are ready-to-use in the browser. Although no programming 
 knowledge is required, students can achieve many of the learning objective
 s in a hands-on manner.  This is because simulation-driven activities are 
 integrated into the pedagogic narrative. Specifically, after being introdu
 ced to a new concept, students can use simulation to test their basic unde
 rstanding of the concept, to experience first-hand the relationship with p
 reviously learned concepts, and/or to explore these concepts by running ex
 periments independently.\n\nIn this talk, we first articulate two kinds of
  motivations for simulation-driven PDC and HPC education: increased partic
 ipation and better pedagogy. We detail the design principles and the imple
 mentation of the EduWRENCH pedagogic modules, and provide an overview of c
 urrently publicly available modules that are ready for use.  We then focus
  on one particular module so as to provide a concrete example of the EduWR
 ENCH pedagogic content and outline ways in this content can be integrated 
 into university courses. We conclude with a discussion of previous and upc
 oming in-class uses of some of the modules, of the lessons learned in the 
 process, and of plans for upcoming modules.\n\nTag: Education, Training an
