| Abstract: | Abstract SPIL is a project of three institutes for higher education in the Netherlands. The aim of the project was to explore the potentiality of educational software for teaching food and bioprocess engineering. The Research and Development approach was followed. Knowledge has been gained by means of specifying, developing and testing educational software. An adequate method for constructing and field testing the software was obtained by integrating knowledge of several domains (information technology, educational science, food and bioprocess technology). Six educational simulations have been field tested. During the last phase of the project the programs were implemented in the curricula of the institutes that took part in the project. |
