What we wanted to achieve
To provide students with practice based learning opportunities through the presentation of simulated clinical decision making
To promote student engagement through linking relevant online practice content to student assessment
To further develop learning and teaching resources– for diverse student groups.– to assist students to develop knowledge and skills
relevant to culturally sensitive health care practices

Promoting student engagement
The ICA was linked to student assessment by having each first year student:
Work through the ICA including the decision pathways
Further develop a history and assessment form
Conduct a client assessment using the form they developed
Write a reflective paper describing the » What
» So what
» Now what

Evaluation Results: Questionnaire
Comments that suggested further work:
• Complexity:“While I thought it was an excellent website, I felt it was almost another whole subject in its self. Many of the links took one to very extensive websites, and I found it very time consuming, as well as keeping up with the lectures and other weekly work load.
“I do not have good internet access, so I had to spend a lot more time coming into the campus to try and use a computer here”

Evaluation Results: Questionnaire
Accessibility:
“I do not have good internet access, so I had to spend a lot more time coming into the campus to try and use a computer here”.
“This is quite a good website, although I had some trouble watching the videos”.
“… great source of reference, bit slow to upload on my computer at home made it a little frustrating”.

Experience. The Difference.
Feedback: Online discussion transcripts
Very positively valued:
“I found the website very useful in stating many ailments I hadn't heard of or didn't relate to respiratory or cardiac disorders before. It reminded me how important it is to keep looking, listening and observing the client whilst asking questions at the same time.
“I have found the website very valuable like [student name] in the fact that it is great to hear the information and see someone, rather than just reading text after text. I have found this 10 times better and really helpful when it comes to my understanding and the way I learn. I need written, visual and hands on! ..”

“The video of the registered nurse was of good quality and easy to understand”.
“The inclusion of everyday hospital language was valuable”.
“The video and multiple choice combination was very effective”.

Student focus group feedback
Examples of poor practice were identified as valuable learning exercises
Students regarded the video as a realistic alternative to conventional procedural videos.
Students indicated that the ICA was an extensive resource well worth working through.
The use of subtitles to illustrate expert and/or patient thinking was unanimously identified as an excellent feature.
