Simulation Games

Learning outcomes of a simulation game designed to have one-to-one correspondence between behavioral objectives and game plays is reported The behavioral objectives were core concepts in psychiatric mental health nursing taught to associate degree nursing students. Decisions to use the simulation game method grew out of difficulties inherent in the community college nursing program, as well as the need for self-paced, efficient, learner-centered learning and evaluative tools. After the trial and revision of the game, a number of research hypotheses were tested Simulation gaming was found to be an effective mode of learning, and students who acted as teachers for other students learned significantly more than those who were taught. Some of the recommendations for further research were to study varied nursing populations, to add a control group, to test the long-range learning effects of playing the game, to decrease experimenter bias, to study transfer of learning to actual nurse-patient situations and changes in attitudes toward psychiatric patients, and to develop more simulation games for nursing education.

Individual Use

Interface design refers to the overall look and feel of an e-learning program by the end user (Hall, as cited in Khan, 2005). Initially designed for corporate use, the World Wide Web as it is now known surfaced in the early 1990s. Individual use grew rapidly in the 1990’s, with “online users doubling or tripling every year” (When Guide, n.d.). Online degree granting educational programs slowly developed. An early fully online RN (Registered Nurse) to BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program was the Collaborative Nursing Program (CNP) in Wisconsin. The CNP, now called the “BSN@Home” program, started in 1995, to serve associate degree and diploma prepared nurses throughout the state of Wisconsin desiring a baccalaureate degree in nursing. This statewide program continues to be delivered collaboratively by five University of Wisconsin (UW) nursing programs (UW-Eau Claire, UW-Green Bay, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, and UW-Oshkosh). A critical look at interface design in this program was undertaken with methods and outcomes detailed below.
