e treatment can be isolated.
Students can control the environment and isolate the influences
of input variables. This allows them to create and observe
the impact of perturbed environments. Experiments that
are impossible, expensive, or undesirable and unethical in reallife
can be undertaken (Anonymous, 1996b). Simulations
thus provide a safe environment in which to make real-world
decisions allowing students to undertake tasks when it would
otherwise not be safe
