We have a particularly challenging concept when describing three phase motors. How to generate the Synchronous Field. While we draw it on the board, it is hard to take a static drawing and describe a fluid process.
This article that I have come across "Using Simulations to help students learn" has helped me to understand the value in the simulation. As well as the benefit.
I have found a simulation that shows the synchronous field, and showed it to some students yesterday. They found the visual process easier to understand. An additional benefit was that I could start and stop the simulation and we could talk about it as the simulation progressed.
This is particularly helpful with electrical concepts, since electricity is invisible and a simulation can help to visualize what is taking place within the electrical circuit.
