UNIT 7 – Implementing Simulation in the Curriculum

Welcome to Unit 7 on the Implementation of Simulation in the Curriculum.
Throughout this unit, you’ll gain insights into the principles of effective simulation implementation, including planning, development, and evaluation strategies. We will explore how simulations can be seamlessly incorporated to enhance learning outcomes, foster practical skills, and provide immersive experiences across various disciplines.
