 Characteristics Of Instructional Simulation.

1.     environment:

2.      system that operate within those environments

3.     expert performance acting  on those system(develop power thinking)

4.     engage learner in interaction: here accepts the input through learner respond.

5.     react to input using non-linear:respond to input by examining the changes in their own internal states.they can perform in any type of user- selected order

6.     their design reflects intended instructional function.
