Student-designed Texts and Classroom Mediation: A UX Analysis of Clinical Nursing Simulations

Abstract

This experience report draws on a unique pedagogical context-clinical nursing simulations-to examine how student texts can mediate a classroom exchange. Focusing on 52 student handoffs, I analyze frequency of text use, correlation between text use and student talk, and the impact of a text's content on its mediating role. This methodology centers student texts and in the process, reimagines possibilities for UX pedagogy and assessment.
