Title
How to Lead a Simulation Session Online: Learning from the Virtual Resus Room
Length of Presentation
Rationale/Background
Replacing in-person simulation sessions with virtual equivalents, as has been required by many educators during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been challenging. The Virtual Resus Room (VRR), developed by the lead author, is an online solution that uses Google Slides and Zoom to create an interactive environment for simulation training. Learners complete tasks by making synchronous edits to their "room", a shared Google Slide document consisting of a patient silhouette surrounded by moveable images of resuscitation equipment. Learners communicate via Zoom and collaborate as a team to do these tasks, introducing the opportunity for the rehearsal of crisis resource management skills. Facilitators type in vitals and update the case progression in response to the learners' decisions, creating an adaptable learning experience. Using the VRR as an example, we hope to demonstrate how to run an effective online simulation with a free, simple solution.
Instructional Methods
The workshop will begin with a brief didactic component outlining various online simulation strategies and our rationale for the development of and experience using the VRR. Participants will be given a brief demonstration about how to use the interface. Next, participants will be divided into groups of 4-6 to run a VRR case. The workshop will end with a discussion of their experience using the VRR.
Target audience
Students or educators interested in online simulation education.
Learning Objective
1) Discuss the options for delivering online simulation sessions.
2) Understand how to use the VRR to run a collaborative online simulation.
3) Run a VRR case and debrief about this experience.
