Description

SimulationSpot is a website that provides free online educational simulators for teaching international relations, ecosystem management, and renewable resource management through interactive learning by doing.

The platform hosts a collection of browser-based interactive simulations covering topics such as arms races between nations, beer fermentation, fishery management, tri-trophic ecosystem dynamics, and Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models. Each simulator is categorised by subject area, including international relations, chemical processes, economic games, and ecosystem modelling, and is assigned a difficulty level such as beginner.

Users can browse the available simulators through a catalogue page or create a free account to access additional functionality. The simulators are designed to support a pedagogical approach based on experiential learning, allowing students to manipulate variables and observe outcomes within modelled systems.

Typical use cases include classroom demonstrations, independent study, and coursework activities in secondary and higher education settings, particularly in subjects such as economics, politics, biology, and environmental science. The service is web-based and does not require installation, with simulators accessible directly through a standard browser following user registration.
