Current Trends in Higher Education Technology: Simulation
Damewood, Andrea M.
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v60 n3 p268-271 May 2016
This paper is focused on how technology in use changes over time, and the current trend of simulation technology as a supported classroom technology. Simulation-based training as a learning tool is discussed within the context of adult learning theories, as is the technology used and how today's higher education technology administrators support that technology. Examples are given from a major land-grant university and the College of Nursing where the author is the Information Technology (IT) Director and one of two employees designated to support technology there.
