Fischer, Brown, and Burton(1978; Burton, Brown, and Fischer, 1984) propose a paradigm for the design of optimal learning environments, which they call increasingly complex microworlds. The concept of microworlds created for educational purposes with the computer as a(universal simulator) is already the central theme of LOGO. Fischer et al. set out to formalize the notion of a succession of(microworlds) where the modifications at each step are meant to support learning. The idea is to start with a simplified world and to have a coach progressively add new dimensions of complexity that require an increasing mastery of basic skills. Fischer et al. present skiing instruction as a pedagogical success model that has made use of microworlds. Over the years, skiing instruction has become safer and surprisingly effective. According to the authors, the key to this success is the definition of progressive learning phases : instructors have combined technological advances with pedagogical cleverness to provide useful simplified versions of the skill. 1, record 2, English, - increasingly%20complex%20microworld

... we’ve added hardware texture to our top selling Novoview SP1 flight simulator visual. It's called SP1/T and it gives rotary and fixed-wing pilots the kind of peripheral information that night/dusk training used to lack. So cloud or terrain pattern, even cracks on the runway, will now provide the same important cues as in the real world. 1, record 3, English, - hardware%20texture

(...) nous avons ajouté un générateur de texture à notre système de visualisation de simulateur de vol qui se vend le mieux, le Novoview SP1. Désigné SP1/T, la nouvelle version fournit aux pilotes d'aéronefs à voilure tournante ou fixe le type d'information périphérique qui manquait jusqu'ici pour l'entraînement au vol nocturne ou crépusculaire. Ainsi, les formations de nuages ou les caractéristiques du relief et même les fissures de la piste, fourniront désormais des indications aussi importantes que dans la réalité. 1, record 3, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20de%20texture
