The Association of American Medical Colleges has encouraged educators to investigate proper linkage of simulation experiences with medical curricula. The authors aimed to determine if student knowledge and satisfaction differ between participation in web-based and manikin simulations for learning shock physiology and treatment and to determine if a specific training sequencing had a differentia...

OBJECTIVE Simulation-based teaching offers promising and diverse teaching possibilities. We aim to assess whether the death of the manikin increased anxiety amongst learner compared to similar simulation-based course where the manikin stays alive. METHODS We conducted a cluster randomized study amongst multidisciplinary teams of emergency workers. Teams of physicians, nurses, and healthcare a...

This research explores the effectiveness of using simulation as a tool for enhancing classroom learning in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. The authors developed a modern transportation planning software package, Agent-Based Demand and Assignment Model ADAM , that is consistent with our present understanding of travel behavior, that is platform ind...

Education systems are changing worldwide and so are the changes in methods of teaching. Since nursing is a profession which requires development of skills in patient care, and in that teaching-learning process, patients cannot be put to risk. Therefore high tech simulation techniques are the best choice, whereby the students are exposed to different high-fidelity simulators and different patien...

This paper adopts JSP dynamic development language, struts2 core framework implements open online virtual experiment teaching platform system, the system using virtual reality technology to simulate the real experiment, include the experiment simulation platform and virtual experiment teaching management system. The simulation platform builds virtual experiment environment, so that the students...

As networking systems have become more complex and expensive, hands-on experiments based on networking simulation have become essential for teaching the key computer networking topics to students. The simulation approach is the most cost effective and highly useful because it provides a virtual environment for an assortment of desirable features such as modeling a network based on specific crit...

In order to improve the abilities and skills of stomatological students, so that the students graduated from fast to complete professional role conversion, cultivation of oral medical applicable talents, the oral undergraduate experimental teaching reform. Using clinical typical cases, simulated patients and animal model of simulated patients such as comprehensive a variety of means and methods...

Systems are an important part in today’s science education. Computer simulations have many advantages in teaching science systems. Our research goal is to test whether a hierarchical instructional scaffolding framework embedded in simulation-based learning environments and retrospective mental modeling task could facilitate mental model construction in learning science systems. This pilot study...

BACKGROUND The concept of simulation as an educational tool in healthcare is not a new idea but its use has really blossomed over the last few years. This enthusiasm is partly driven by an attempt to increase patient safety and also because the technology is becoming more affordable and advanced. AIMS Simulation is becoming more commonly used for initial training purposes as well as for conti...
