Part seminar part discussion on issues raised. This event will be to consider the nature of the challenges of assessing students' professional development drawing on: 1) a synthesis paper produced by Professor Mantz Yorke 2) views and experiences of the tutors involved in assessing the achievements of students while they are on their work placements  and 3) the results of a mapping exercise, under taken by Dr Jenny Willis, aimed at identifying across the university the focus for assessing the complex learning and achievements emerging through work placement experiences.

Some challenges of using simulation to supplement students' lived experience in health care  settings
Ed Errington, University of North Queensland
Video conference streamed live from this webpage
 
The presentation focuses on the pros, cons and challenges facing educators using simulated media to supplement life experience of health/medical students. It considers the place of psychological realism; situated contexts; perceptions of teaching & teaching delivery; and, learning and alternative curricula in enriching lived experience. Each of these factors can individually, or in combination, aid or hinder the relative efficacy of simulation as a potentially viable supplement for real experience.  The presenter offers ways that these challenges might be met and simulated learning optimised.
