Welcome to the NetLogo Learning Lab

Summer Workshop Schedule
 

The NetLogo Learning Lab is a project of the Institute for Modeling Complexity and is supported by the Advanced Learning Center on Mesa State College’s UTEC campus.  The Learning Lab is intended to be a supplemental source of information and learning tutorials to make NetLogo easier to use. In its current form, it includes several additional tutorials not found in the NetLogo User Manual. In the future it will include a searchable database of code snippets, sample models, and much more.  The NetLogo Learning Lab is designed to provide you with the skills necessary to understand, use, and create your own digital models with NetLogo. It is our goal to make the NetLogo Learning Lab the premier location on the Internet for learning NetLogo. 

The Advanced Learning Center and the Institute for Modeling Complexity are the proud sponsors of the 2005 NetLogo Summer Workshop.  This will follow the highly successful workshops we held in July 2003 and July 2004. 

Materials used in the NetLogo Learning Lab include original tutorials by Boyce Baker and Michael Gizzi, as well as content adapted from several sources including the NetLogo Users Manual, tutorials provided by Ken Chan, Derek Rush, and others.  We would like to thank the members of the NetLogo Users Group for their willingness to share materials with us, and with the staff of the Center for Connected Learning at Northwestern University which makes NetLogo possible. 

The NetLogo Learning Lab is organized in three parts:

  • Learning Labs - or step-by-step activities which teach you the skills to become a NetLogo programmer; similar to the tutorials in the NetLogo User Guide.
     
  • Study Guides which provide brief descriptions and annotated examples of specific NetLogo Features. The study guides reorganize materials from the User Manual and add additional content to them.  
  • The Code Library which provides annotated code-snippets, and sample models which can be used when creating

In addition, the Website includes resources and links to NetLogo models - and online discussion forums.
