“…Research has also shown that the deployment of simulation software and tools (Juan, et al, 2017), like instructional gaming headsets (Mystakidis et al, 2022), in teaching helps students gain practical knowledge of complicated systems while also enhancing their teachable momentthrough the construction of appropriately prepared skill-building activities (Juan et al, 2017). In a study of the application of Simulation-Based Education (SE) in an automated control course, das Dores Cardoso, et al (2014) came to the conclusion that students can use simulation to gain practical experience and talents through exposure to a variety of realistic situations. In the capacity-building training, established by trainers and improved with expert direction and supervision, SE delivers intrinsic motivation, encouraging them to achieve more in academics.…”

All subjects may be taught well, but a big part of it is how the instructor uses technology to make learning beneficial for the learners. This study investigated the extent to which digital learning technologies’ usage influences the teaching effectiveness of business educators in Nigeria’s South-South universities. Two specific objectives were established and two null hypotheses were tested. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Relevant literature was reviewed. The study adopted a predictive correctional research design. The study participants were 170 business educators from twelve universities in South-South Nigeria. No sample was drawn because the population was manageable. Data was generated using a 24-item Likert scale questionnaire called the "Digital Learning Technologies and Teaching Effectiveness Questionnaire (DLTTEQ). Seven experts from the University of Calabar validated the DLTTEQ. The study’s assumptions were evaluated using simple linear regression. The use of virtual reality simulation and teleconferencing by business educators in Nigeria’s South-South universities was found to significantly predict their teaching effectiveness. Sequel to the research findings, the study recommends that the national government should foster simulation-based education by building a digital learning environment appropriate for Business Education. The insights of this study call for the implementation of international best practices in order to help learners and instructors transition from digital immigrants to electronic natives.

This paper presents an integration mechanism for online communication between a discrete event simulation (DES) software and a system dynamics (SD) software. The integration between them allowed executing a hybrid and broader simulation, in which the complexity of the systems and their multi-faceted relationships may demand the combination of different simulation methods and the synergies between the techniques. The Ururau free and open-source software (FOSS) was applied to implement the DES model. In order to build the dynamic model, we used the software for mechanical design called CAD 3D Software Inventor®. Besides, we also employed the DES model in the test step of a control system in real time. The results of that mechanism implementation enabled the evaluation of different aspects of a typical manufacturing system. Furthermore, the integration between the control system and the DES model allowed validating the logic of the programmable logic controller (PLC). Highlights Mechanism for online communication between a discrete event simulation (DES) software and a system dynamics (SD) software. A free and open-source software (FOSS) was applied to implement the DES model. The results of that mechanism implementation enabled the evaluation of different aspects of a typical manufacturing system.
