About This MicroSim

This interactive workflow diagram shows the five stages of creating a MicroSim with AI assistance. Each stage is labeled with who drives the work — HUMAN, AI + REVIEW, or AUTOMATED — highlighting where pedagogical judgment is essential and where AI accelerates execution.

Lesson Plan

Learning Objective

Describe the five stages of the concept-to-MicroSim AI-assisted workflow and explain what happens at each stage, including where human judgment is required versus where AI handles execution.

Activities

1. Click each stage to read its description, inputs, outputs, and tools.
2. Enable Show Time Comparison to see AI-assisted vs. manual timing for each stage.
3. Identify the two stages that are fully human-driven. Why can't AI replace human judgment there?
4. Calculate the total time for AI-assisted vs. manual workflow. What is the speedup factor?
