This improvement allows students to compare runs of the model
they are exploring and document their observations about changes that they make between runs. This feature is
designed to support individual student work, small-group work, whole-class participation using HubNet and
teacher-lead whole-class activities.
With the new HubNet Teacher Client, teachers can easily manage a HubNet activity running on a remote
server. Using this new client is as easy for teachers as the regular client is for students. The HubNet
Teacher Client gives the teacher a full set of controls, through a familiar interface that is nearly identical to what
they would see if they were running the activity directly on their own machine.
HotLink Replay enables students to record, compare, and annotate plots generated by the same or different model runs, as well as to
recall what the visuospatial display looked like when important plot features were generated.
DeltaTick is a simple, visual block-based programming environment that is designed to support students'
construction of agent-based models by emphasizing the structural, levels-based, and behavioral aspects of those
systems, and the ways they contribute to quantitative change.
NetLogoAndroid
In the past, Hubnet support was limited to Java-eanbled devices (laptops were mainly used). The Android
client greatly expands the universe of devices that can participate in a HubNet activity. The project resulted not
only in a working client, but an improved architecture for supporting additional devices in the future.
Modeling Commons
Modeling Commons is an online community where people can post their models, create projects and discuss the models in an open forum.
Through this website, users are encouraged to become contributing members of the world wide NetLogo community.
Internationalization
NetLogo is used by students are researchers all over the world. Functionality has been added to NetLogo to allow users to define
a default language which affects all major elements of the graphical user interface.
NetLogo also now support the full Unicode character set which includes accents as well as non-roman languages such as Chinese and Hebrew.
