Effective educational practices depend on learning as a process of dialogue between tutor and learner. Some traditional methods can fail to facilitate dialogue since learners may be unable or unwilling to engage.
The use of Audience Response Systems, where all learners can respond to questions set by a tutor with the aggregated results displayed to the class, can alleviate barriers to dialogue. The Centre has experience of combining ARS with video streaming of high-fidelity simulated clinical scenarios, thus allowing learners to vote for a course of action: their actions determine the clinical outcome for the patient.
