Teaching with Virtual Simulations

Virtual simulations are an exceptional way for online students to get experience applying what they have learned to real-life situations. My colleagues and I created 20-minute virtual simulations that had our online students treat patients for cancer and end-stage liver failure, perform a liver transplant, administer postpartum care, and more. The materials needed to create the simulations were readily available at our institution, though during the pandemic we turned my basement into a hospital set and filmed there because the labs were closed. While these are healthcare scenarios, the processes can be applied to building scenarios in nearly any subject.
