| In this paper, we present a participatory
simulation of a stock exchange. It was designed for master's
students in business administration to improve their
understanding of finance theory and especially of the pricing of
stocks and bonds. Users taking part in the computer-based
simulation become private investors who are able to buy and sell
stocks, bonds or stock options. The simulation facilitates the
understanding of the complex system of a stock market and
increases the motivation and learning intensity of students. The
stock exchange simulation is based on the WIL-MA architecture
(Wireless Interactive Learning at the University of Mannheim)
that was developed at our institute to support interactive
lectures with mobile devices. It provides a basic client/server
functionality as well as an administrator tool. This technology
has so far been used to support interactivity in university
lectures by providing different services like hand-raising,
feedback or quiz sessions. We have extended the WIL-MA technology
to support participatory simulations in general and implemented
the stock exchange scenario as a first comprehensive
example. |
