Simulation has an ever-increasing role in health professions' education, however there is limited evidence on the transferability of learning to practice. In this study, a pragmatic approach using a convergent mixed methods design explored the use of a virtual high-fidelity Computed Tomography (CT) simulator in preparing students for clinical…

Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and Extension professionals need to understand the lived experience of poverty because it affects every aspect of an individual's life. Poverty is related to inadequate nutrition and food insecurity, lack of access to health care, insufficient child care, unsafe neighborhoods, lack of affordable housing,…

Nursing students are important future health care providers to the growing number of older persons in society. However, two barriers are their common ageist attitudes and lack of interest in geriatrics. This is a concern in light of the global demand for nurses and a challenge that need to be addressed in nurse education. Age suit simulation has…

Designing and implementing accounting programms that develop relevant skills for industry are in greater demand from practitioners. In accounting courses, complex topics may require an approach beyond traditional lectures and workshops. Experiential learning provides an alternative approach and is particularly relevant to forensic accounting…

This paper outlines an experiential learning exercise designed to improve business students' ability to apply flexible leadership. The exercise is a two-step process for which students complete a simulation and then write a self-reflective essay. Two mixed-methods studies were conducted to investigate the overall learning experience and changes in…

Societies are increasingly aware of the need to connect and communicate globally. Thus, navigating diverse cultural contexts becomes critical, which necessitates intercultural competence--the skill of effective communication and understanding across cultures. As the digital age reshapes our interactions, online learning platforms have emerged as…

This article describes the creation and outcomes of simulation as Level I Fieldwork for entry level graduate occupational therapy students. The simulations were created by a team of interprofessional educators following the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning best practices. Additionally, the simulations were…

Cinemeducation has been used for diverse teaching objectives in medical education. To our knowledge, there are no published accounts of using cinemeducation in combination with simulation. We designed a pedagogical activity combining cinemeducation and simulation in a programme to teach patient safety. This paper aims to describe the design and…

Background: The teaching and learning of skills in a classroom setting are often thought to require a resource-intensive approach.
