        Abstract

        This article presents the pedagogical model “Network Oriented Study with Simulations” (NOSS) using simulation software and the ICT-based tool “Web Orientation Agent” (WOA) (Page et al., 2006) and supporting findings. The NOSS model was developed and implemented in CSCL (computer supported collaborative learning) type learning situations around computers in technology education utilising novel technologies such as case web-supported simulations and to evaluate the effectiveness of those in teaching, studying and learning settings. The preliminary findings appear to support the effectiveness of this pedagogical model with some limitations which are subsequently discussed.
