• Demonstration of using Mediasite to record and archive students' interaction with patient simulations, known as SimBaby, Noelle, PediaSIM and SimMan, that improve educational outcomes and encourage the kind of critical thinking necessary in a clinical setting
• Real-life examples of how technology helps nursing students enter the workforce with heightened confidence and competence in their clinical decision-making skills
