Instructional Design
Instructional design is an
important aspect of successfully integrating low, medium, and high fidelity simulation into
curriculum. The selection of the best type of simulator(s), how simulators should be used,
and the appropriate sequencing of knowledge and skills to optimize learning is of critical
importance to the successful use of simulation in instruction. Formative and summative
assessment criteria and performance measurements are well supported through comprehensive
instructional design specific to the needs of individual curriculum designs, and are integrated
into the learning objectives for each specialty area. The faculty of UMCSC is expert in the area
of instructional design and in identifying optimum use of simulators for specific learning and
performance outcomes. UMCSC faculty is available for instructional design services, consultation,
and research opportunities.
