Designing Simulation-based Learning Experiences 1: Objectives and Fidelity/Modality – February 10, 2021

Simulation in the health professions can take many forms and employ various modalities.  Often when designing simulation learning activities, educators start with a story or context and try to fit the learning objectives in after the fact, or choose the modality that they are most convenient or comfortable with using.  This presentation will highlight the importance of creating objectives for simulation, how to write learning objectives for simulation learning experiences, and provide an overview of simulation modalities.   

Objectives for this session: 

• describe the importance for creating objectives for simulation-based learning experiences
• construct objectives for simulation-based learning experiences
• differentiate between the various tools and modalities used in simulation-based learning

Facilitator:  Nicole Harder
