Using simulation and inter-professional education to teach infection prevention during resuscitation

Inter-Professional Education: A Reflection on Education of Health Disciplines

The quality of education and its output in the health care services has been strongly considered by educational policymakers and managers. The development of inter-professional collaboration has been identified as an influential strategy to socialize learners in various health care professionals. Sharing knowledge and experiences in Inter-Professional Education (IPE) provides health care stud...

Using Java Beans to teach Simulation and using Simulation to teach JavaBeans

This work reports on two courses for computer scientists. The first is a graduate course on modeling and simulation and the second is a course on component based software engineering. For both of these courses we principally use the same basis, that is, the Java Beans component technology and the DEVS system theory formalism for discrete event simulation. However, in the two coursed, we pursue ...

Using simulation to teach child injury prevention to mothers recovering from substance abuse.

A paucity of literature regarding strategies for injury prevention in children for mothers with substance abuse exists. Substance abuse propagates distractions such as inattention; therefore, these mothers should be targeted for injury prevention education. A quasi-experimental design compared the results of traditional classroom teaching with an innovative home hazard simulation activity to te...

Using Serious Games to Teach Business Process Modeling and Simulation

Serious game and virtual-based environments have recently been used in business contexts to promote training of business related competences as is the case of business process modeling. Due to its characteristics modern BPM methods rely heavily on computers, since they are used as a tool for model, simulate and analyze a process and its effects on the organizations. Several authors argue that t...
