Open educational resources in simulation learning
required by staff to create and resource simulations. Simshare aimed to resolve this by: repurposing simulation resources created by the SIMPLE project as open educational resources working wi…
Second guessing: is there a context for Second Life in legal education?
In their paper Michael Bromby and Martin Jones (Glasgow Caledonian University) invited participants to speculate on the potential for Second Life in law, reporting on their experiences with studen…
SIMPLE: learning through simulations
(embedded below). Game-based learning and simulations are powerful modes of learning, used by industries as diverse as aviation and health sciences. While there are many generic VLEs available to f…
Moving from lectures to transactional learning: simulating probate
Tom Serby (Anglia Ruskin University) presented a poster on the introduction of a simulated transactional learning environment on the Legal Practice Course (LPC). Download Tom’s poster (…
Open educational resources: why they matter
required by staff to create and resource simulations. Building on the success of the SIMPLE project, and going beyond it, this project will perform a vital role in the higher education community by p…
Are we using technology for technology's sake? An evaluation of a simulated employment exercise
In their paper Amy Musgrove and Vicky Thirlaway (Leeds Metropolitan University) considered a pilot study evaluating the use of a virtual learning environment to foster employability and problem so…
Supporting the use of the SIMPLE application
disruptive. In order to create effective simulations academic staff need support and practice in designing innovative scenarios, building resources for simulation and re-thinking assessment practices…
Using SIMPLE at the University of Stirling School of Law
k.e.goodall@stir.ac.uk. Stirling used SIMPLE for two simulations in a module taken by 63 first and second year undergraduate students during 2007-08. The simulations were managed by a senior lectur…
Using SIMPLE at Glasgow Graduate School of Law
up the estate of a deceased client. The simulations are played out through the virtual town of Ardcalloch where the clients live and the scenarios are based. The pedagogical approach is construct…
Building a simulation: the narrative event diagram
During the software specification for the SIMPLE learning environment it became clear that for many people involved there was a gap between the ability to conceptualise the scenarios making up a simu…
SIMPLE: innovative learning across the professions
town where students engage in authentic simulations of professional transactions. Learners are sited in a professional context, where their work is, as it will be in the workplace, distributed betwee…
Using SIMPLE at the University of Glamorgan law school
with little experience of e-learning or simulations. Two other lecturers took on roles within the simulation and were responsible for a number of pairs of firms each. Building the simulation The …
Using SIMPLE at the University of Warwick School of Law
the roles of clients and witnesses in the simulations of other firms – a key difference from the other SIMPLE case studies. After completing the online transactions the students were required t…
Simshare workshops
held a number of workshops to explore using simulations in teaching and learning, and using open educational resources. Each workshop had a host of information about simulation learning. At the wor…
Simshare methodology and progress
The project will develop an infrastructure to support the creation and release of simulation OER by: Collating and disseminating existing simulation resources repurposed as open educational cont…
Teaching in virtual worlds
Thinking about getting into Second Life? Here Mark Childs (Coventry University) provides an introduction to the issues raised in teaching in virtual worlds. Mark (SL Gann McGann) is currently underta…
Open educational resources (OER)
Open educational resources can be defined as teaching, learning and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property lic…
Call for simulation resources
we’re keen to host all types, all sizes of simulations. Our team will work with you to repurpose your resources as open educational content and to ensure your contribution is recognised. The …
It's SIMPLE: the SIMulated Professional Learning Environment
SIMPLE project is an excellent example of simulations being used for educational purposes. SIMPLE was initially designed to help students learn how to undertake practical legal transactions, such a…
