A conversation with Anne-Marie Borneuf about Active Learning through Simulation

by Anne-Marie Borneuf and Rod Cullen

Anne-Marie Borneuf is Senior Lecturer in School of Nursing and Public Health where she is Pre Reg Nursing Simulation and Clinical Skills Lead, and she has recent been appointed as Lead Innovation Scholar for Active Learning.
Dr Rod Cullen is Reader in Digital Education based in the Digital Education Team, Principal Fellow of AdvanceHE and a Lead Innovation Scholar.

In this video podcast series, Rod talks with colleagues across Manchester Met about how they are implementing the DELTA strategy in their teaching. Each episode features a conversation about flexible active learning in practice, covering what works, what’s challenging, and how digital tools can help students balance their studies with their lives outside university.

Anne-Marie Borneuf speaks to Rod Cullen about “Simulation” approaches to flexible active learning. Anne-Marie explains that there are high-tech, low-tech and no-tech approaches to “simulation” in teaching learning and assessment. She shares insights into her own practice and discusses how simulation technologies sit within the learning spaces framework and how other spaces and technologies across the framework can be deployed together to enable the six principles of digital flexibility of the DELTA strategy.
