We also have an exciting webinar, offered and co-sponsored by Wolters Kluwer, the NLN, and Laerdal Medical, focused on simulation's impact on cognitive learning.
As co-developers of vSim® for Nursing, we want to continue the conversation about simulation and its impact on improved cognitive learning and clinical reasoning. We hope you can join us.
We invite you to watch in all sessions or select only the topics that interest you most. Each session is valid for one (1) Continuing Education hour.

Since the landmark NCSBN nursing education simulation study, ongoing evidence continues to support clinical simulation as an alternative to actual clinical experiences (Bradley et al., 2019; Smiley, 2019; Sullivan et al., 2019). Recent evidence also suggests that 65% of schools of nursing use some form of virtual simulation or adaptive technology as part of their teaching and learning strategies (Leah, 2020). Virtual environments put the student in the center of the teaching, engaging them in the experience as opposed to merely consuming the information. This focus allows for situated cognition—or learning in context—a concept at the forefront of contemporary educational reform.
What is XR? How can these technologies improve student learning?
Recorded: Friday, April 8, 2022
3:00-4:00 pm ET

If you are curious about what XR is and how you could use these technologies in your nursing program or curriculum, then this session is for you. Our speaker provided an overview of the different technologies including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, and shared some examples of how they are used.
