Technology Available in the Center for Innovative Learning

Learning Management System (LMS)
Our dedicated LMS provides students with access to all simulation encounters - video, audio and all data recorded throughout the scenario, including vital signs, actions taken, etc.

This allows for self-evaluation, the ability to read feedback provided by facilitators and instructors, and the ability to access scenarios for future reference.
 
Conference Capabilities
Participants who are unable to make it to the Center for Innovative Learning can login remotely, listen and watch all activity through our Polycom conferencing system.

Healthcare Gaming Programs
Unique gaming programs such as Laerdal's MicroSim and Laerdal's HeartCode allow instructors to help learners develop decision-making and critical thinking skills.

Exposure to these programs allows us to conduct a program-specific needs assessment prior to conducting a full simulation exercise.
