"Envision's Virtual Gaming Simulations: A Safe and Effective Way to Innovate Healthcare Education'

Recently, Envision had the opportunity to speak with Anastasia Verleysen, a journalist from The Nursing Network, who was interested in our first virtual gaming simulation, "Hello, you must be Flo!" We were thrilled to be included in a discussion about innovation in healthcare and were happy to share our insights with her.

Our virtual gaming simulations offer an immersive and safe learning environment that challenges students to apply their knowledge, improve their technical and communication skills, and think critically about decision-making and collaboration. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a shift towards online alternatives for hands-on high-fidelity simulations. Envision's virtual gaming simulations provide a solution that integrates all of the essential components of simulation into a digital format.

Through the Envision project, we have developed two Virtual Gaming Simulations (VGS), "Hello, you must be Flo!" and "Caring off duty!", which are available on our website in open access. We also provide a framework and guidelines for using these VGS effectively in online distance learning, classroom education, or blended applications, even after the pandemic.

For educators interested in integrating our online simulations into their curriculum, we offer a step-by-step guide for prebriefing, enactment, and debriefing in the "How to Use?" or "Facilitator Guide" section of our website. We have also created a "How to Make?" guide for educators who want to create their own VGS. This guide is a testimony of the creation process of Envision's VGS, covering all aspects of the TPACK model in the pre-production, production, and post-production stages.

We are excited to share our knowledge and expertise with other educators and designers to help them create and implement effective virtual gaming simulations. By providing practical tips and a firsthand account of our experiences, we hope to inspire others to explore the possibilities of digital simulation tools in healthcare education. We look forward to seeing the innovative solutions that will come from this growing interest in virtual gaming simulations.

This week the 3rd Learning Teaching and Training Activity in Tarragona took place by our host Universitat Rovira i Virgili - URV. It was all about excellent partner collaboration in order to finalize project results – the second Virtual Gaming Simulation in pediatric polytrauma and design guide, supporting tool for VGS.

The partners of the project have allocated the last day of training in Oulu to learning about working with ‼️branching scenario in for the first Envision virtual gaming simulation to be translated in other project partner languages. Ready to work on this at home!

02/06/2022

The last few days were full of 👩‍🏫new knowledge and experience. The project partners worked hard on the script for the ‼️second virtual gaming simulation on pediatric polytrauma, as well as gained knowledge about simulations and gaming in 🔝nursing in practice.

❗️Yesterday, we started with the 🔈first day of training in Oulu, Finland, hosted by . The partners in the project tested the 🔝first virtual gaming simulation on home health care and learned about user testing. First version of the 🏠home health care VGS is already available on https://envision-vgs.com/?page_id=3201.
