Abstract

Simulation design templates are available from the National League for Nursing and other organizations. Designing a simulation is a lengthy process that begins with determining course learning outcomes and the level of the learner. The storyboard provides detailed information about the simulator, the environment and the intended learners roles. Debriefing is a critical element of simulation and is considered in the design stage. Evaluation methods are also outlined in the design stage.
