Abstract

Simulated real-life scenarios allow educators to assess students' decision-making and critical-thinking skills rather than just the knowledge they possess. These skills can be fostered using virtual case scenario simulations and interactive assessment strategies. Learn how to use a novel interactive case management system to streamline the development and implementation of online case scenarios with self-assessment learning outcomes linked to curriculum objectives and program competencies and practice skills assessment. Participants will have the opportunity to explore scenario writing for multiple disciplines, with a primary focus on enhancing communication in the context of cultural/psychosocial competence. Create dynamic and interactive online case scenarios using virtual characters, speech, and other media-rich content. Collaborative learning can be employed with case scenario activities using web conferencing technologies.
