This section explains the formal model that CoolWorld implements. The information provided here should suffice to re-implement the same formal model in any sophisticated enough modelling platform. We use bold red italicised arial font to denote parameters (i.e. variables that can be set by the user). The environment The environment in CoolWorld is a 2-dimensional grid divided into square patches. Each individual patch has a specific temperature, which is a floating-point number in the interval [0, 100].
Unless the user interacts with the model at run-time, neither the temperature profile nor the distribution of houses changes during the course of a simulation run. The agents Scheduling of events. First efforts: The syllabus it is a-changin' Last year I had one too many encounters with students (both grad and undergrad) who insisted on texting, emailing, or surfing during my classes (not big lecture classes, mind you). I decided to get something official on the syllabus for fall: Technology and the Problem of Divided Attention In recent years the saturation of cell phones, text messaging, and laptops, combined with the broad availability of wireless in classrooms, has produced something I call the problem of divided attention.
A March 25, 2008 article in the New York Times summarized recent studies of productivity in business settings. Researchers found that after responding to email or text messages, it took people more than 15 minutes to re- focus on the “serious mental tasks” they had been performing before the interruption. Other research has shown that when people attempt to perform two tasks at once (e.g., following what’s happening in class while checking text messages), the brain literally cannot do it.
