(Künzel & Hämmer,2006).Simulation and educational games possess their own strengths and weaknesses. Knowing thecapabilities and shortcomings of simulations helps educators to effectively plan, develop, andimplement them. One of the main advantages of using simulations in education is providing realtime feedback. In fact, the whole system is designed such that every decision that students makeis the beginning of a learning process that triggers subsequent reactions or events. Through thiscycle, feedback is continuously generated and displayed. Having the logic of decisions in mindand experiencing the results students can connect the dots and follow an instruction flow(Rokooei, 2016). Simulation applications are also being utilized in abstract

the notion ofscript [3], schema, or a plan, genre is a concept used to describe what people do in practice,specifically, their discourse or discursive practices. Genres are socially shared; Orlikowskiand Yates [18] define them as ―socially recognized types of communicative actions — suchas memos, meetings, expense forms, training seminars—that are habitually enacted bymembers of a community to realize particular social purposes (pg. 542).‖ Often, thesecommunicative actions can involve sequences of interrelated genres (e.g., a meeting mayinvolve presentation and discussion genres; a class might involve group activity followed byan individual assessment) referred to as a genre system.Overall, the genre perspective argues that there some

The goal was to developan early alert system, to predict the end-of-semester score of students based on their early semesteractivities. The developed model enables instructors to detect students who are in risk of failing andhelp them plan proactive approaches to be successful in the course. Data obtained within a periodof four semesters were incorporated for development and validation of the model. Based on theobtained data, the
