Abstract

This poster presents results of a national project funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council’s Competitive Grants Program. Titled ‘Building academic staff capacity for using eSimulations in professional education for experience transfer’, three universities participated during 2008 – 2010 aiming to build the capacities of staff for understanding, scripting, developing, using and evaluating a specific form of online, goal-based, role-play, digital simulation (eSim). Local 'knowledge transfer’ and ‘capacity building’ were significant challenges, however a greater challenge is the national dissemination of eSims used in blended learning contexts to improve flexible learning for the professions across the higher education sector. While the project partly addressed the need for research and development in eSims beyond the single institution, the benefits of a sector-wide ‘design science’ approach to eSims and achieving dissemination of transformative practice in creating eSims, remains a goal.
