# 'User Journey' - Facilitator

# Faculty Journey for Simulation Planning 

## Overview 


This journey follows Dr. Michael, a faculty member and [facilitator](/doc/facilitator-gGzEtVWofw), responsible for preparing the environment for simulations and the educational side of these (evaluation, learning material, etc.): that is, for *planning, executing, and managing* **simulation sessions** for healthcare learners. (At some institutions, [SimTech](/doc/user-roles-cBviOAy86K) role users cover the same tasks.)  
  
**LearningSpace** is the central platform he uses to streamline the entire process from

* *scheduling events and*
* *preparing resources*
* *running simulations,*
* *managing evaluations and*
* *generating reports.*

## Before the Simulation

### Planning and Scheduling 

•	==Event Setup:==   
Dr. Michael begins by creating the simulation Event directly in LearningSpace:   
> Adds the *event name, objectives, simulation rooms, and dates/times*. 

> Assigns Simulated Patients to appropriate roles.   
> Uploads learning materials, such as *case files, checklists, and instructions*, into the system.

•	==Learner Scheduling:==   
Using LearningSpace’s Calendar module, Dr. Michael **assigns learners to sessions**.   

•	==Resource Planning:==   
Dr. Michael **checks related** [**Equipment and Supply**](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ess-hs/doc/68f00d35-ed7d-459e-ae8e-79752f8f4959) **lists and resource availability** (*manikins, equipment, and Simulated Patient schedules*).  

### Pre-Simulation Communication 

  
•	==Automated Notifications:==   
LearningSpace **can** **automatically** [**send notifications**](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/doc/what-should-be-included-in-the-pre-event-part-of-the-sce-scheduling-oxn2LeSsr1#h-learner-preparation) to Learners with event details: 

> Learners receive session schedules and pre-reading materials. 

•	==Checklist Configuration:==   
Dr. Michael sets up [**digital checklists**](/doc/checklist-lZG5hEe4bk) for instructors within LearningSpace to track performance during the simulation.

•	==Test Equipment and Rooms:==   
From LearningSpace, Dr. Michael runs **system checks** for connected equipment:   
  
> *Cameras, microphones, and vital signs monitors* are tested.

> *Room setup and recording configurations* are finalized.    

### During the Simulation

**Running the Event**   
•	==Session Execution:==  
Dr. Michael starts the **simulation scenarios** using LearningSpace.   
  
All aspects, including:   
> Video recording and vitals display are controlled directly through the platform.   
> Learner check-ins are recorded in real time.


==•	Live Monitoring:==   
Dr. Michael monitors the session via LearningSpace’s [**live video feed**](/doc/center-overview-co-v7lQtKvyKo).  
   
> [Annotations](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ess-hs/doc/annotations-smqLEzZDqs) are added to the recordings for significant events. 

> [Instructor evaluations](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ess-hs/doc/data-entry-during-simulation-FkiDMegko3) are completed digitally as learners perform tasks. 


### After the Simulation

**Debriefing and Feedback** 

•	==Immediate Access to Recordings:==   
Dr. Michael facilitates a **debriefing session** where learners review their performance.   
[Recordings](/doc/video-review-gGvz8zqik1) are accessed within LearningSpace and synced with instructor annotations. 

•	==Performance Evaluation:== 

Instructors **finalize assessments** using the LearningSpace checklists. Learners receive **immediate feedback**, scores, and comments via the platform. 

•	==Reflection on the Simulation:==   
Learners complete **post-simulation** [**evaluation **](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/doc/checklist-lZG5hEe4bk#h-evaluation-checklist)in LearningSpace. Learners' opinions can be collected and utilized in course and SCE management.

### Post-Simulation Reporting 

•	==Generate Reports:==   
Dr. Michael uses LearningSpace’s reporting tools to create detailed performance reports:

> Reports include *evaluation scores and automated metrics*. 

> Data is organized in a **clear and actionable format** for both learners and faculty. 

•	==Data Review:==   
Dr. Michael reviews reports to **identify trends and gaps** in learner performance, using insights to adjust future simulations.

### Continuous Improvement 

  
•	==Simulation Data Insights:==  
 Dr. Michael leverages LearningSpace reports to **monitor learner progress** over time. Trends and patterns inform adjustments to simulation content and structure. 

•	==Scenario Refinement:==   
Dr. Michael uses **feedback from learners and instructors** to update simulation scenarios, ensuring they remain relevant and challenging.

 •	==Centralized Resource Hub:==   
All *learning materials, session recordings, and reports* remain **stored securely** in LearningSpace, ready for use in future events.
