Simulating a federal legislature.
Abstract
This article describes implementation of an online learning tool designed to complement traditional didactic teaching. LegSim is a web-based virtual legislature that students organize and operate. They represent constituents, choose leaders and allocate committee positions, sponsor, co-sponsor, and research legislation, and negotiate and strategize to advance their policy priorities. Instruction is flexibly adapted to changing events as students acquire conceptual, procedural, and operational knowledge through their participation in a learning community.
