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.
