What is Interactive Modeling

Encyclopedia of Information Technology Curriculum Integration
The learner interacts directly with the models. The learner can change parameters or attributes of predesigned models, or the learner has to develop models of scratch. The learner uses the simulation to observe and test the model’s behavior. By simulating the models, the learner can gain insight and knowledge about the importance and role of parameters, attributes, and model behavior.

Abstract
Simulation has always been about learning. For being able to simulate something, a model of a system must be developed. Thus, the perspective of teaching and training with modeling and simulation is necessarily twofold. Sometimes the model builders are the primary learners. They learn by constructing models of scratch, and by changing model parameters. Sometimes the users of the simulation models are the target learners. They learn by interacting with a simulation. Sometimes, the learners are not aware that they interact with a simulation.
