This was a great course to familiarize myself to the process of simulation. I appreciate all the details and components of the process that help to make simulation such a great learning methodology.

An excellent overview of the many levels of running an evidence-based simulation program. However, several of the links ended up in a page that no longer existed and the videos went very fast, causing me to go back to see the reference pages and re-listen to the recommended websites given at the end of a presentation. The different instructors brought a range of expertise that was much appreciated and I will be able to use this in my own practice; especially the debriefing section.

This course provided professional information that will be useful to all faculty who work with SIM. The review of educational strategies and theory was very thorough. I felt that the speakers in the presentations spoke too quickly. It was difficult to take meaningful notes and I had to rely on the transcripted information. For many of the post test questions, I was not able to refer directly to my notes to determine correct answers. Overall it is a very good training module.

Overall like the course and the ground work it formed for starting up a simulation center. However, I would have appreciated having the documents referenced to read prior to the session to have been embedded in the course resources so that I knew exactly what websites or articles to read. I was able to use a search engine to find very similar documents which provided the required information but it did not follow or fully support the lectures or quizes.

I enjoyed the course and hearing from the experts in their fields. SImulation has so many topics, I don't think Standardized Patients needed it's own module. It might have been incorporated within another module. There should be contact hours upon completion.

The information and tools provided background for my learning. I expected to have more videos of the debriefing process to show ways to debrief that could expand my thinking and application process. All areas were applicable to learning about simulation.

I learned and a lot and I feel like this is a good starting point for people who are trying to learn about how to function in a simulation lab. Some of the links to resources are broken (especially in week 2) which is why I gave the program only 4 stars.

Helpful course for getting a more in-depth understanding of simulations and the bodies that govern best practice. However, some quizzes had typos and the questions were difficult to understand and poorly written.

many of the links were broken in the course materials and the download options are hard to find. the lectures were very upper level except for the SP which gave some examples and videos. that was very helpful!

This course provides links to resources and offers many options on best practices. I am in a small community college setting and was hoping for a more consise template for building our sim program.

This course was truly informational and comprehensive regarding simulation. The only comment I have is that some of the information is repetitive from one speaker to the next.

Great tutorial!

I wish there was more information related to other clinical simulations than just nursing and medical students. I learned a lot especially with regards to standardized patient development.

Some resources such as template in course 7 were not available. Also the possibility for outline of the modules for note taking would be very helpful.

Some of the information about INACSL SOBP is outdated. New SOBP are available and have changed from those listed in the MOOC.
