Medical Education at Indiana U - Northwest

• Nancy Mangini, Brian Kennedy, + 1 Workshop Staff

• "Tell me the story": Nouns (agents), Adjectives (depictions), Verbs (methods)

• Use of AgentSheets + Ristretto to build model in less than an hour

"I had a picture in my mind of how the program could be used to show Na:Ca exchange and was quite pleased to see the model I imagined come to life. [The staff] did a great job presenting how to work with the system so the I was able to step in and modify it.

In less than one hour's time I basically mastered the system to make a meaningful application. I really liked that I didn't need to use equations to make the system work -- though clearly this underlies the model." -Nancy Mangini
