What is a microworld?
A microworld is a term coined at the MIT Media Lab Learning and Common Sense Group. The lab defined a microworld as, literally, a tiny world inside which a student can explore alternatives, test hypotheses, and discover facts that are true about the world. It differs from a simulation in that the student is encouraged to think about it as a "real" world, and not simply as a simulation of another world.
