Outcomes

Immediate outcome:

Create additional learning opportunities in 3 directions:

  • Interactive VPs that offer clinical choices and consequences, providing opportunities to develop clinical reasoning, and for safe practice.
  • The integration of the learning resources with the VP resources enables learning possibilities within the context of the scenario, just–in-time learning.
  • The different tracks taken through the case personalises the learning experience for the collaborative PBL group, and for the individual learner in reflective or revision study

Medium term outcome

  • Rollout of the adaptive scenario-based technologies to other areas of the courses, and other courses in SGUL.
  • Dissemination of the adaptive scenario-based technologies to other institutions and subjects beyond healthcare
  • Widespread recognition of the value of this form of adaptive learning, promoted by the lead of SGUL in Europe and beyond, in virtual patient development and healthcare standards.

Medium to Long-term goals

An international project developing a distributed ‘plug and play’ VP-based curriculum to bolt onto local face to face and skills training, and involving leading institutions in Europe, USA, Canada and Africa.
