DESCRIPTION
If you are new to design and development of simulations, come to one of our new
NLN Simulation Workshops.

During these one and a half day workshops, you will see a state of the art simulation
center, a variety of simulation equipment, and demonstrations of scenarios using a
patient simulator. Content will address the design, development, and implementation
of simulations, and their integration into the curriculum.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

• Differentiate among features of low, medium and high fidelity simulators.
• Propose 5 or more advantages to using simulation as a teaching/learning tool.
• Develop a simulation scenario using a template.
• Outline a plan for the implementation of simulation scenario.
• Examine current practices and research regarding the implementation of simulation in the laboratory and/or classroom.
• Construct strategies for addressing possible pitfalls and problems when implementing a simulation scenario.
• Compare the strategies of debriefing and guided reflection
• Explain how to integrate debriefing and guided reflection into a simulated experience.
• Identify where we are today with simulation pedagogy
• Describe the challenges educators face when integrating simulations across the curriculum
• Discuss strategies to facilitate integration of the pedagogy into the curriculum
• Contrast the design of a simulation created as a teaching tool vs one created to evaluate student learning.
• Integrate curriculum concepts into the design of a simulation.
• Identify areas for future research in simulations
• Plan optimal space requirements for a simulation lab/center.
