Situational ELearning: a Crowdsourcing Approach to the Definition and Assessment of Key Practice-Ready Academic Outcomes : Final Report 2016 [PRINT]

Résumé du livre

Australia must do more to develop graduates with the practice-ready skills they need to play an effective role in the workplace. Situated learning lends itself to the development of key practice-ready skills, but it is contingent on the availability of authentic clinical experiences. The potential for replacing direct student engagement in practice with a computer-simulated clinical experience is apparent. This project will utilise a unique combination of The Situation Engine (used to define specific circumstances that stakeholders can agree upon to represent/simulate key clinical experiences) and Smart Sparrow (used to measure and assess user activity and their interactions with the situation as it is presented to them). Stakeholders will negotiate improvements to the situation specification and measurement framework on the basis of the empirical evidence and analytics generated by the system. The aim is for key practice-ready academic outcomes to be specified by way of actual circumstances and the essential responses such circumstances dictate.
