This course explores the concepts of simulation modality, fidelity and realism. Theory and standards are presented to guide the development of simulation scenarios and the influence of modalities, fidelity and realism to the learner experience and achievement of outcomes. Paticipants will learn the various types of simulation modalities and methods for increasing fidelity and realism.
By the end of the session, participants will:
1. Examine definitions of key terms for modalities, fidelity and realism within the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Practice™.
2. Describe the perspectives of fidelity and current standards related ro the selection, implementation and evaluation of simulation.
3. Explore simulation modalities and typologies.
4. Apply concepts of modalities and fidelity to simulation design.
The National League for Nursing (NLN) Simulation Innovation Resource Center (SIRC) presents a series of reimagined, virtual courses designed to offer professional development in simulation education. This course has been designed as a virtual, asynchronous, and self-paced experience. Learners have access to these courses for 1 year. Nursing education continues to evolve to meet the challenges learners face when developing their thinking skills and translating them into action, within the context of patient care. Simulation-based education consists of a wide collection of teaching strategies, underpinned by theory and evidence, that aim to support learners in their emergence as competent and caring clinicians. Developing, implementing and evaluating immersive and evidence-based simulation experiences for learners require that nurse educators develop a highly specialized skill set in the art and science of dialogue, teaching pedagogy and psychological safety.
