ABSTRACT
In the higher education of the neural and cognitive sciences, however, simulations are still only applied sporadically even though educational materials. The monist-project has committed itself to the task of developing such recipes for simulations in higher education. The monist-project is a software package designed for providing compact, ready to use educational simulations. Simulations become educational as they are complemented by topical texts, instructional design, concrete tasks and an editor for individual notes and solutions. Educators having existing simulations can embed them in the monist-system. The authoring mode provides means for designing or modifying educational material. The monist-project is organized in ten groups throughout Germany. A critical mass of educational simulations and the technical platform will be provided by the monist-group. However, the organization is open for any good contribution helping to integrate simulation into education for neural and cognitive sciences. The monist-project offers applicable tools and content and aims at teachers wishing to use and evaluate the monist-console.
