attribute the work to:

Advantages and

Disadvantages

as viewed by the presenters

Advantages

The simulations can

be used online and

offline.

The simulations are

accompanied with

lesson plans/teaching

materials

One needs to know

thoroughly the

underlying concept in

each simulation

before using them

Disadvantages

Advantages

The simulations are

categorized

accordingly for a more

convenient browsing

A simulation can

belong to two or more

categories.

Disadvantages

Advantages

The site allows for the

submission of

teaching materials in

any language.

There are no teaching

materials available in

other languages.

Disadvantages
