Content (Syllabusoutline): 

New educational methods include the new technologies as well as education methods. Student will get familiar with 

practical and theoretical underpinnings of simulations, virtual reality and Problem Based Learning (PBL) with the aim 

that the student will be able to develop simulation models, simulation scenarios, and motivational models, evaluate 

them and understand their effects on formal and non formal pedagogical process.

A Problem Based Learning strategie will be used in this modul. This means that students are working on tasks of the 

modul book in PBL groups. During this meetings tutor will be present to supervise the learning process. Furthe more 

student will work on tasks in small training groups. The student will acquire skills how to develop simulation scenarios 

and models in formal description languages (i.e. UML), virtual reality and programing the manequens and integrate 

the scenarios and models in wider health environment. 



The student will be able to develop simulation scenarios and models and use them in real world health environment.
