In our course for LRNT526, our group (Shelley Dougan, Wendy Grymaloski, Sandra Norum and I) has been asked to select a digital learning technology and to critically analyze it. We looked at Branching Scenario Simulations. Branching scenario simulations use features such as still images or graphics, video, sound, and special effects (Bell et al., 2008), to give learners the opportunities to make choices, reflect, adjust, and therefore...

In our course for LRNT526, our group (Shelley Dougan, Wendy Grymaloski, Sandra Norum and I) has critically analyzed H5P Branching Scenario Simulations. We chose to examine one such branching scenario for our learning event called Skills Practice: A home visit. We have critically analyzed our learning event and the applicability of H5P Branching Scenario Simulations in our 4 very unique teaching contexts: Shelley – Higher...

In a previous post about scenario based simulations using H5P, our group discussed our rationale for choosing it for our critical analysis and our initial literature review findings. In this post, I will be discussing how I could use scenario based simulations in my field for teaching IT within the 2-year diploma program that I teach. Database backups and recovery is a concept that many students struggle with in one of the classes...

In our course for LRNT526, our group (Shelley Dougan, Wendy Grymaloski, Sandra Norum and I) has been asked to select a digital learning technology and to critically analyze it. Our team has chosen to examine a choose your own adventure branching scenario simulation called Skills Practice: A home visit. In this interactive simulation, the player assumes the role of a community health nurse assigned to complete a home visit with a...

In a previous post, Christopher Rowe, Jonathan Carpenter, Mike MacKay, Cheryl-Haley Nix, and I were asked to rank twenty attributes in order of most to least important as part of being an effective leader (Rowe et al., 2021). In this same team, we also created a toolkit for managing educational technology change projects. In this post, I am revisiting those same leadership attributes we identified at the beginning of the course to see...
