We apologize for the inconvenience, but due to an ongoing problem with our registration system, we are no longer able to offer new certificates of completion for these lessons. If you have been asked to complete any of these lessons and turn in a certificate of completion, please let your instructor(s) know that we are no longer able to provide them. Unfortunately, will not be able to offer certificates of completion for these lessons again in the future. (Note: if you have previously completed lessons between August 17,2020 and May 3, 2023, you can continue to access them on your My Dashboard page. Certificates are no longer available on our website for lessons completed before August 17, 2020.)
Note: All Teaching with Simulation lessons, except Sim 204, were originally published as Adobe Flash files. Since Flash Player is no longer supported, we converted all Flash files to mp4 video files. The videos do not offer interactive features and content is presented in the order it was intended. We were able to restore Sim 101 to an interactive format, but do not have plans or funding at this time to restore other lessons.
Simulation is a teaching technique in which the learner practices in a situation that mimics a real-life event. Simulation is used for learning skills in situations that are relatively uncommon or high-stakes, such as the need for an aircraft to make an emergency landing. In healthcare, simulation provides unique opportunities for learners to practice and hone clinical skills and critical thinking with the same complexities and distractions that are present in the real clinical setting. Skills such as error recognition and interprofessional team functioning can be taught without placing actual patients at risk or discomfort. Given these distinct advantages, simulation is becoming an increasingly popular teaching approach for higher education and continuing education. This lesson reviews the reasons for the growing popularity of simulation and introduces basic concepts in clinical simulation. This lesson provides foundational knowledge for subsequent lessons in the Teaching with Simulation module. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
Simulation is a potentially powerful teaching approach. The simulation experience engages students in a way that requires independent use of critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Debriefing provides students the opportunity for reflective learning and integration of their knowledge with the experience they gained in simulation. However, poorly planned, organized, and executed simulations can result in student frustration and failure of the exercise to meet the learning objectives. Sim 102 presents pedagogical principles to guide teaching with simulation. We discuss various theories of learning as well as effective teaching approaches. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
The effectiveness of any teaching method depends in large part on good planning. This is especially true of simulation. Both students and instructors must come well-prepared to participate in the active learning experiences. This lesson presents the steps necessary in planning an effective simulation experience for students and provides some tools to help instructors in scenario planning. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
Debriefing is where the learning happens in simulation. This lesson provides a basic overview of debriefing, considerations in debriefing, and some examples of techniques used in debriefing. It is not meant to be comprehensive but will familiarize a novice debriefer to the role and responsibility of a debriefer. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
This lesson is divided into two parts. Part one will provide an overview of the use of simulation to assess and evaluate competencies in simulation by learners from various healthcare settings and levels of expertise. The lesson is intended to provide the basics of embedding assessment and evaluation into simulation experiences. The focus of the second lesson will be the selection of a method and tool for either assessment or evaluation appropriate to the simulation desired outcomes. In addition, developing a remediation plan and addressing factors related to language and culture will be reviewed briefly. An unfolding case study will be used to illustrate these concepts. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
This lesson provides an overview of simulation fidelity domains and introduces moulage and staging techniques that will bring simulation scenarios one step closer to real-world. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
This lesson provides an overview of techniques of designing and leading IPE sessions that prepares a safe zone for students to learn and engage in a simulation scenario. This online presentation includes audio, demonstrations, instructional methods, and examples.
The Teaching with Simulation Lessons were developed with funding from a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) faculty development grant: Integrated Technology into Nursing Education & Practice Initiative (ITNEP) (Grant U1KHP09543). Principal Investigators: Brenda K. Zierler, PhD, RN, FAAN (University of Washington), Suzan Kardong-Edgren, PhD, RN (Washington State University), Erin Pringle, MS, RN (University of Alaska-Anchorage), Glenna Burg, MS, RN (Montana State University), and Robin E. Pattillo, PhD, MEd, RN (Idaho State University).
Aim: This paper reports the development and psychometric testing of the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale, an instrument designed to measure and compare differences in satisfaction levels between nursing students exposed to medium and high fidelity human patient simulation manikins.
Background: Student satisfaction is important to engaged and meaningful learning and it facilitates active and purposeful participation in simulation experiences. There are suggestions that student satisfaction may have some correlation with performance. Few studies have explored in a rigorous way the impact of manikin fidelity on nursing students' satisfaction with simulation experiences.
Method: The items for the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale were identified following a critical review of the literature. Content validly was established by use of an expert panel. During 2009 and 2010 the instrument was tested with second year (n=268) and third year nursing students (n=76) from one Australian university. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to determine construct validity and Cronbach's coefficient alpha determined the scale's internal consistency reliability. Differences in satisfaction levels between groups were analysed using an independent t test. Responses to an open ended question were categorised using thematic content analysis.
Results: The scale demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (alpha 0.77). Exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-component structure termed Debriefing and Reflection, Clinical Reasoning, and Clinical Learning; each subscale demonstrated high internal consistency: 0.94; 0.86; 0.85 respectively. Mean satisfaction scores were high for each group. However, statistically significant differences were not apparent between second or third year students exposed to medium and high fidelity manikins. Content analysis identified 13 main categories including supplementing versus replacing clinical placements and the need for increased exposure to simulation sessions.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that simulation is highly valued by students, irrespective of the level of fidelity. This raises questions about the value of investing in expensive simulation modalities. The Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale was reliable and valid for this cohort. Further research in different contexts would be valuable in extending upon this work.

Aims and objectives: This study introduced simulation-based education in nurse education programs in Tanzania and Madagascar and explored nursing students' experiences with this pedagogic method as a mode of learning.
Results: The quantitative data revealed that the students rated all the questions related to the simulation design elements, educational practices, and students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning with scores of above four on a 5-point Likert scale. The qualitative data from the first theme, building competence and confidence, further emphasized and outlined the quantitative results. Additionally, the qualitative data revealed a second theme, improving through encouragement and corrections. The students clearly expressed that they wanted to be aware of their weaknesses to be able to improve; however, the provision of feedback should be carried out in an encouraging way.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the nursing students were satisfied with simulation as a pedagogic method, as it improved their competence and prepared them for professional practice. Further research is necessary to explore whether the students are able to transfer their knowledge into clinical practice.
