Introduction <strong>of</strong> Government Process Modeling With Rockwell Arena S<strong>of</strong>twareoperating systems, and is relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Also, liveclassroom applications that support application-sharing can be used to helpstudents at a distance, regardless <strong>of</strong> whether the course is delivered “on ground”or online. Application-sharing allows students to watch what an instructor isdoing on his or her own local computer, in real time.We conclude and believe that introducing Arena in a core course, and havingmodest pedagogical intentions, is important, appropriate, and feasible. The firsttime students see their model become an animated simulation, their eyes arelikely to light up with delight. That moment alone can be worth an instructor’sentire effort. If insight accompanies that delight, the moment can launch thestudents into the kinds <strong>of</strong> critical thinking needed to manage in a world <strong>of</strong>business processes, strategic alliances, complex networks, and dynamic systems.REFERENCESAlessi, S., & Trollip, S.
