Abstract :
We built an educational Qualitative Diagnosis simulator (QUAD) to model SCS (Space Collaboration System) conferences. Our research aim is supporting SCS beginner users in forming correct SCS mental models and in understanding SCS essentials. Therefore, we use a logical circuit, to model the possible computations. The system diagnoses the student´s conceptual understanding mistakes about the SCS system and explains their cause
