When it comes to teaching nursing, the most impactful and practical experiences help students translate theory into practice. SPM uses carefully trained actors or volunteers known as simulated persons or SPs to portray patients who present with symptoms of medical conditions. One SP may present in a clinical setting with symptoms of high blood pressure, another may exhibit signs of a stroke, heart attack, shock, or an injury. Each SP is carefully trained to provide feedback to the nursing students. Through this interaction, nursing students learn to observe the \u201cpatient\u201d and ask the most effective questions, thereby elevating their abilities to assess and triage the patient\u2019s condition. Originally conducted in person within a classroom or clinical setting, SimXSpace has recently launched a new \u201cvirtual simulated persons\u201d technology.<\/p>\n<p>Another powerful learning tool is Virtual Reality, which uses simulations as a way around the geographical separation associated with remote learning. Imagine being able to transport students virtually into a Syrian Refugee Camp so that they can understand the lived experiences of refugees or have students experience a moment in the life of a patient diagnosed with a stoke. It is completely possible with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simxspace.com\/cvrriculum-program-embedding-virtual-reality-as-an-experiential-education-medium-to-teach-empathy-academic-innovation-fund-category-i-continuing-fund-2020-york-university\/\">CVRriculum Program offered by SimXSpace<\/a>, which embeds virtual reality as an experiential education tool to help teach empathy, understanding and enhanced human skills about important issues.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_276836\" style=\"width: 211px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276836\" class=\"size-full wp-image-276836\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2020\/06\/Celina-De-Silva.jpg\" alt=\"Celina Da Silva\" width=\"201\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2020\/06\/Celina-De-Silva.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2020\/06\/Celina-De-Silva-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-276836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Celina Da Silva<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Serious Gaming is a new entry to the simulation learning environment. It uses simulations in a customized gaming environment that can be built to address the specific learning objective. The SimXSpace team (researchers, research assistants, SP trainers and a coordinator) is building an environment with different projects that interweave the three elements of virtual reality, simulated persons, and serious gaming. \u201cWith our collective expertise and there are projects that use SPs to create scenarios that we embed into the serious games we create,\u201d says Da Silva.<\/p>\n<p>The power and potential of SimXSpace is unlimited. In addition to nursing, members of the SimXSpace team have collaborated with different faculties, divisions and centres across the University, including social work, education, health, law, business, and equity.<\/p>\n<p>When the Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion (CHREI) at York University was looking for a way to enhance its human rights training for York orientation leaders, it turned to SimXSpace and more specifically to its Simulated Person Methodology Lab for a solution. SimXSpace worked with CHREI to produce a simulated scenario that featured a trained actor, or simulated person (SP), who embodied a non-binary student who had to report gender discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrategies such as recognizing a human rights issue, demonstrating active listening, and communicating empathy were brought to life through the simulation with the SP and this provided opportunities for students to process their reactions and practice in a guided environment,\u201d says Peisachovich. \u201cThe use of SPM brought together theory and practice and enabled learners to apply their understanding of complex human rights principles, while honing their professional skills including addressing racism, microaggressions, challenging unconscious biases and fostering positive and inclusive spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marian MacGregor<\/strong>, executive director of the centre agrees and feels SimXSpace \u201ceffectively engaged students in an experiential education exercise that leveraged their capacity to act as champions for change, with practice and reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved the fact that we got an actual actor to practice with,\u201d said one student who participated in the training. \u201cIt felt more real and I liked how the environment was meant to be challenging but also supportive, so we could ask for help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simxspace.com\/\">SimXSpace<\/a> online or contact the SimXSpace coordinator at <a href=\"mailto:SPMYU@yorku.ca\">SPMYU@yorku.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the diversity of applications of simulations at York University, read about the \u00a0Faculty of Education <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2019\/09\/11\/simulated-person-methodology-provides-education-students-with-a-unique-experiential-learning-opportunity\/?utm_source=YFile_Email&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_content=Top-Stories&amp;utm_campaign=yfile\">here<\/a>, the School of Nursing <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2017\/05\/25\/shaking-up-the-traditional-classroom-human-simulation-as-a-teaching-tool\/\">here<\/a>, the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2018\/09\/20\/student-actors-as-patients-can-teach-patience\/\">here<\/a>, and the School of Social Work <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2019\/01\/24\/simulated-person-methodology-bridges-theory-to-practice-in-social-work\/?https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/?utm_source=YFile_Email&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_content=Current-News&amp;utm_campaign=yfile\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Jenny Pitt-Clark, <\/em>YFile<em> editor<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As postsecondary institutions turn to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, SimXSpace, a new player in the education space, is sharpening the focus on experiential education in online learning through the power of simulations.
