Get Your Students Hired
Jeremy,
Workplace simulations are key to learning today. In the case of criminal justice students need to learn what they should do from search, sentencing and anticipating dangers. Simulations that are interactive can be very benefical to the learning process.

I teach criminal justice students and workplace simulators are an invaluable tool. There are some topics in criminal justice, especially policing, that a student cannot completely understand until they have been in a particular situation or scenario. This is expecially true when we are talking about the life or death situations that you will inevitably face in a career in law enforcement.
Workplace simulators have been used in law enforcement and military training for decades and have proven themselves to be valuable tools.
Venusa,
Thank you for sharing what is being done at your institution as workplace simulations is necessary if you are offering a courses or degrees related to health sciences especially if the labs/clinical can’t be done virtually. With today’s technology students have a chance to attend the school they desire especially as it relates to positions in healthcare because the simulation helps one get ready for the workplace.

I teach in an allied health school. We use simulators particularly in medical office administration courses and clinical skills courses like electronic health records, virtual office and simpro for virtual lab.Since we are teaching students to get an entry level position in the allied health field, and the inability to provide actual hands-on experience with patients and particular medical procedures, using such technology is very helpful in a sense that we can provide our students a road map or overview of what to expect in these types of procedures or working environment. It may not reflect a 100% the actual working environment and its details but at least exposing them to similar case is good start to reinforce the knwoldege and concepts we are teaching them in the didactic portion of their program.
