I love this paper by Sterman. The impediments to learning in the real world provide me a better appreciation on the complex problem solving...so many dynamic variables to consider and these variables are casual. Nonetheless, system thinking is key to solve complex systems.
Fortunately, the use of virtual worlds and simulation provide means to model the complex system in a controlled environment.
looking forward to the applications of virtual world to see how things are implemented.

I look forward to reading it! I was starting on the books, hoping to get a better foundation/background; will post on Shaffer's book in a bit.
Thanks!
I like the description of barriers to learn. It sets up a base for us to look for instructional intervention to overcome those barriers. Also, it suggests that simulation and modeling may support learning in complex dynamic systems.
