Simulation Design in 11 Easy Steps
This presentation was highly engaging, fast paced, and I mostly tweeted the first section of it. The needs assessment is an essential first step. Learning objectives are so important. Don’t have 10 – limit yourself to 2-3. The SET-M is a good tool to evaluate simulation activities. They talked about Read more…

Hot Sim Topics #SimEXPO2022
Hot topics with Sandra Goldsworthy and Margaret Verkuyl Here is a list of the major topics they discussed Do we replace or titrate simulation? What are recent advancements in simulation technology? We need training! How do we embed simulation in curriculum? Combining mannequin, simulated patients, virtual simulation XR, VR, and Read more…

Expanding Access Through AI
This was an interesting way to make sure that learners get access to specialized training. I completely understand that it is hard to make sure people get that in the clinical setting … but I wonder how accreditation views replacing clinical time with a simulation. I think it makes sense, Read more…
Nurse as Educator
Just Roll with it: Tuesday Teaching Tip
This Thursday, third-year students are using simulation to teach first-year students. We have spent time in class talking about the need to assess learning needs, plan teaching strategies, and evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching. My number one tip for students walking into the role of a teacher is to Read more…

Simulation Strategies: Tuesday Teaching Tip
Good morning! Simulation, whether virtual or in-person has immense potential for the development of nursing skills and confidence (Koetting & Freed, 2017). Simulations may be digital or not, graded or not, and used in conjunction with gamification (Wiggins, 2016). A lot of discussion around simulation is focused on hand-on high Read more…

Create your own Educational Virtual Simulation Games- The Easy and Cost Effective Way
Virtual Simulations have many benefits. the top three they mentioned that resonated with me were: Students can play more than once Everyone gets to be the decision maker They are more accessible Filming After initial equipment costs the only cost is time. this group is now at the point where Read more…

Using H5P to Create Online Simulations
Today Sarah and I facilitated a workshop on creating simulations using H5P branching logic. Virtual simulations are an innovative strategy to enhance student learning both synchronously and asynchronously. We have chosen to build our simulations in H5P because it is free and works well with Moodle. Below are our slides Read more…

Can Simulation Save Lives?
Today I had the opportunity to hear from colleagues about the impact of simulation on client safety from Dr. Sandra Goldsworthy at the SIM Symposium. She and the organizers spoke about the importance of both interprofessional education as well as simulation to enhance student learning. What is Happening in Calgary? Read more…
