Few studies examine the use of live actors in simulated training for social work students. This paper offers a programmatic exemplar on the implementation of simulation training in ethical decision-making using professional live actors. It offers original findings on the experiences of Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work students (n…

While the growing demand for technology integration in healthcare education and practice, technology training in speech-language pathology education is limited. Further research is warranted to investigate digital health and literacy training across interprofessional experiences. This study investigated interdisciplinary digital health and…

Virtual reality (VR) learning is believed to increase focus, engagement, and emotional connection. To that end, we developed an immersive business case study in VR to teach essential business concepts. This paper outlines the process we followed to develop and launch the case in the hope that other institutions can use our process as a blueprint…

This paper explores the course design and implementation of a first-year discovery seminar on "Living in the Metaverse" offered at a business university. Integrated with standardized college-readiness topics, the course combines hands-on activities with collaborative assignments and class discussions to present a multidisciplinary…

The "Grand Challenges" for Engineering are an effort to portray engineering as a field that has profound impacts on society.
