This video explains what simulation is and how it can be utilised to promote interdisciplinary learning between students across three healthcare disciplines. It presents an individual who has had an acute cardiac episode, she is receiving care from a Cardiac Nurse, Physiotherapist and Dietician.
This video illustrates the interdisciplinary simulation which was designed and implemented to promote learning. The simulation scenario was co-designed by stakeholders, academics, clinicians, postgraduate students, patients, and educational technologists through a World Café participatory workshop. The co-design phase engaged academics, clinicians, postgraduate students, patients, and educational technologists through a World Café participatory workshop.
Participants co-designed:
● Technology enhanced preparatory learning (pre-simulation) using the H5P authoring
tool to provide background knowledge and introduce interdisciplinary concepts. This is also available on the T&L Hub.
● Simulation scenarios, informed by the International Nursing Association for Clinical
Simulation and Learning framework.
Thematic analysis identified three key themes:
1. Importance of effective communication.
2. Straightforward, transparent information sharing.
3. Patient centred approach.
The video shows facilitators using the PEARLS (Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation) debriefing model to ensure consistent, high-quality reflection. All materials followed UDL principles.

An overview of stakeholder feedback that informed the renewed HEA teaching and learning strategy. The report analyses 58 online submissions and a consultation event attended by 46 stakeholders from 28 institutions and organisations, highlighting strategic leadership, funding, professional development and recognition, and collaboration.
HEA Strategy for Teaching and Learning: https://doi.org/10.82110/dmm5-ep34.
Published in December 2025, the Higher Education Authority’s strategy sets out six priorities for teaching and learning in Irish higher education: Lead, Fund, Recognise, Collaborate, Consult and Develop. Each priority is supported by strategic objectives and high-level actions to guide national policy and teaching and learning enhancement.
This Open Educational Resource (OER) provides educators with a practical checklist for designing gamified learning experiences in Canvas. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, it offers actionable strategies to enhance student motivation, engagement, and participation by supporting autonomy, competence, and relatedness within an inclusive, student-centred learning environment.
