Simulated Learning (SL) is discussed in relation to its history, development, application in health professional education, delivery considerations and outcomes. Simulated Learning and Simulation Based Education could be differentiated by considering SL as instances where simulation is employed as a teaching and learning method and SBE as a more comprehensive approach within curricula design. Following this, the discussion will focus on SBE in light of Activity Theory (AT) and Expansive Learning (EL) espoused by Engestrom (2009). The philosophy, factors, structures and approaches of AT and EL are highlighted and their application as an underpinning consideration for SBE is discussed. It is suggested that by utilising the Expansive Learning philosophy, health professional educators can create a structured approach to effective integration of Simulation Based Education into curricula design and as a vehicle for them to deliver high quality experiences for students which is then transferable to their practice settings as professionals.","PeriodicalId":334920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117057338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of thecurrent research explores the opportunities presented by ICT and socialmedia as innovative tools for teaching and enhancing student learning(O’Brien & Glowatz, 2013; Duncan & Barczyk, 2013). This paper suggeststhat the role of the academic in navigating the use of ICT in their teachingin HE has been overlooked in discussions. Koehler and Mishra (2009)propose the technological, pedagogic and content knowledge (TPACK)framework to explore the relationship of technology in teaching. O’Brienand Glowatz (2013) investigate the suitability of the TPACK frameworkin the context of academic engagement in order to investigate itsrelevance for academics teaching in HE. This paper suggests elementsof the teaching dynamic are overlooked and evaluates the use of theTPACK framework in the exploration of technology in higher educationby academics. Specifically, the authors address the key question ‘Howdo academics currently make use of technology to teach at highereducation?’.","PeriodicalId":334920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115519413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
