Course Authoring and Collaboration

Thank you for participating in our questionnaire. Your feedback is important to us. We are seeking feedback from the simulation community regarding course and scenario development i.e. authoring methods and practices for simulation-based education (SBE). The survey should take a maximum of 10 minutes to complete. ALL RESPONDENTS WHO PROVIDE CONTACT DETAILS WILL BE ENTERED INTO A PRIZE DRAW FOR A 50% DISCOUNT VOUCHER FOR THE ASPIH 2017 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

1. Please provide us with your background. If you prefer not to provide these details then please leave blank and move to Question 2.

4. Are you an ASPiH Member?

Yes
No

5. Approximately how many courses/scenarios would you develop in 3 month period?

1 to 5
6 to 10
More than 10

6. When developing SBE content, how many colleagues do you tend to collaborate with?

7. Where are these individuals most often from?

8. If you collaborate, what is your preferred method for collaborating when developing written course materials?
(Choose all your primary methods)

9. Where do you store completed courses/scenarios?

Online cloud service (e.g. Google Docs)
Secure server in my institution
Computer in my department
Other (please specify):

10. Do you use a standardised template for course and/or scenario writing?

Yes (Please go to Question 12)
No

11. Assuming it doesn't stifle creativity, how useful would you find a standard framework for writing courses (particularly if you collaborate with individuals not as familiar with simulation)?

Very useful
Somewhat useful

12. Would it be useful to include the ASPiH SBE Standards in such a framework to allow the option of mapping courses or scenarios to them?

Yes
No

14. When delivering a course or scenario, how useful would it be to have all documentation (teacher notes, supporting paperwork etc.) easily printable from a single file source?

Very usfeul
Somewhat useful
Not at all useful

Comments:

15. Do you provide training in course authoring or scenario design to colleagues new to the field of simulation?
