Live Actor Simulation Showcase

As part of a collaboration with George Brown College, Centennial College, nurse educators at Sick Kids Hospital, and Ryerson University, LAS@R helped cast a virtual gaming simulation based on a post-op pediatric clinical appointment targeted at nursing students and nurse practitioners.

The Reflect and Resist: Exploring Anti-Black Racism through Live Actor Simulations workshop series uses Live Actor Simulation at Ryerson's simulation 207: Fallout After Violence, to share one character’s perspective on what it is to be a Black man navigating the world.

The LAS@R team has had the great pleasure of working with Dr. Yukari Seko and Asmaa Malik on what they describe as a solution focused approach to supervising graduates. Visit the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Pedagogies podcast for episode #18, a recent interview where both scholars mention how the LAS@R team was able to support this fantastic initiative to meet the needs and academic development of today's graduate students.

Simulation #902 is one of the most highly used throughout programs and faculties at Ryerson University and receives consistently positive feedback, often used by instructors multiple times a year.

Over the last 8 years, the LAS@R team has worked with Ryerson’s Law Practice Program both in-person and virtually to support lawyer licensing candidates. Live Actor Simulations have helped candidates develop key skills that are critical to their future success in the practice of law in Ontario.
