"A freeware educational simulator program of glucose-insulin interaction and insulin dosage & dietary adjustment in diabetes mellitus. AIDA contains a simple model of glucose-insulin interaction in the human body. It is intended for simulating the effects on the blood glucose profile of changes in insulin and diet for a typical insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetic patient (IDDM).
AIDA is only intended to be used for educational / teaching / demonstration purposes."AIDA comes with
40 case scenarios which can be simulated and further case scenarios can be added by users.
Additonal resources include an
Insulin Tutorial.

Online E-learning Site Facilitates Integration of Simulation Technology into Nursing Education Curricula The
National League for Nursing has given simulation technology in nursing education a long-awaited boost with the creation of the online
Simulation Innovation Resource Center (SIRC), a project inaugurated with funding by Laerdal Medical. Nurse educators around the world can learn how to use simulation to promote and evaluate student learning, as well as dialogue with simulation experts and one another, by engaging with the resources on the
SIRC website."

Conclusions of the NMC Study:"The findings are overwhelmingly positive and suggest strongly that simulated learning: helps students to acheive clinical learning outcomes, provides students with learning opportunities which are not possible in the clinical setting, and helps to increase students confidence in approaching clinical situations."
Simulation allows the attention and focus to sift away from the patient, to the nursing student and their learning.
"The latest development enables universities to use up to
300 hours previously set aside for learning with patients, to learn instead in a safe simulated practice learning environment, where mistakes can be made without risk of causing harm to patients."
