Simulations

Component Description Link
Reactor Part of Concordia’s course CHME 6031: Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Engineering, this component allows students to interact with different reactor elements. Based on their input, immediate feedback is provided, allowing them to understand the values inside the reactor in real-time during the simulation.
Brewery In this simulation, learners will become the key decision-makers of a brewery for 10 (in-game) weeks. During this time, they will need to make strategic decisions about a variety of situations that will impact production. Their goal is to maintain or maximize performance!
Government Learners roleplay as an aspiring Prime Minister of Israel and must use their knowledge of policies and politics to build an electoral platform that will earn them 51% or 60 votes of support in the parliament. The composition of the parliament changes every round, and random events occur repeatedly to sway the learners with the promise of reward or punishment. The learners can save their path at the end of the activity as a .txt file.

Animations

Component Description Link
Pygmalion effect animation

(FRENCH AND ENGLISH)

 Although the teaching profession encourages the development of critical thinking skills in those who practice it, the learner-teacher relationship is conducive to the development of some of these biases, which can have a significant impact on learning. The Pygmalion effect is one of them, and the first step to prevent it is to know it better.

AI

Component Description Link
ecAmi This example showcases our Chatbot created for Concordia students interested in taking an online course.

Students can choose from a list of topics and questions, or enter their own. All AI answers are drawn from a database built by our employees. If the answer is not satisfactory, students can submit a ticket or, during office hours, connect to a live support agent. EC Ami is built using IBM’s Watson Assistant artificial intelligence and the Zendesk customer support solution.
The AI will only answer questions on predefined topics and is trained to understand user intent. What’s more, it can’t give its own answers and can’t be trained by users to say certain things (to keep human control and potential user abuse in check).
