Project Description
SIMPRAC was a simulation based learning environment in which user
interfaces were develop to support and encourage learning through
reflection. The simulation enabled the learner to take a patient
history, undertake a physical examination, request relevant
investigations, and develop a management plan. At the end of each
consultation learners were asked to reflect on their activity. In
addition to receiving feedback on their actions, the patient's outcome
was also modified based on the chosen management actions.
