why simulations?

• Are close to the world of practice, but safe from
  the (possible) realities of malpractice and
  negligent representation.
• Enable students to practise legal transactions,
  discuss the transactions with other tutors,
  students, and use a variety of instruments or
  tools, online or textual, to help them understand
  the nature and consequences of their actions
• Facilitate a wide variety of assessment, from
  high-stakes assignments with automatic fail
  points, to coursework that can double as a
  learning zone and an assessment assignment
• Encourage collaborative learning. The guilds and
  groups of hunters in multi-player online games
  can be replicated for very different purposes in
  legal education.
• Students begin to see the potential for the C in
  ICT and that technology is not merely a matter
  of word-processed essays quizzes, but a form of
  learning that changes quite fundamentally what
  and how they learn.

SIMPLE evidence-based alternative to traditional
learning designs

• We need
• Clear research evidence sim environments will
  enable successful alternative approaches to
  knowledge, collaboration, professionalism,
  ethics... at reasonable cost.
• Career-long assessment environments
• To address our successes and concerns directly
  those to those with financial decision-making
  powers, eg
• institutional management
• regulatory bodies
• policy-makers

13
SIMPLE community of practice

• Aims
• Be collaborative staff, students, different
  institutions, different professions
• Be international in our increasingly globalized
  jurisdictions we need to enable our students to
  work with others
• Liaise with institutions students in developing
  countries
• Integrate with other forms of simulation, eg
  standardized clients
• SIMPLE will be a Foundation, in every sense
