INVITATION: Do you want to learn more about healthcare communication?
STUDY TITLE: GITCS©-Virtual Game Simulation Evaluation
Hello Learners:
We are inviting you into a research study being conducted at the University of British Columbia and in several other universities and colleges across British Columbia Canada.
The study is being funded by the UBC Centre for Teaching Learning and Technology Open Education Resource Implementation Grant and will be conducted all online. We have created an open education resource aimed at improving your ability to communicate with clients in a health care setting. In the study, you will receive free access to an open education resource that includes a three-chapter PressBook and access to a virtual simulation game (GITCS-VGS) for foundational health communication.
Should you choose to participate, you can examine the PressBook here [Textbook link] or using the QR Code below. After using the PressBook and engaging in the virtual gaming simulation [approximately 20-50 minutes], you will be invited to a survey to get your feedback [5-10 minutes].[Survey link] Submission of the survey indicates your consent, once data is submitted it cannot be withdrawn. Faculty will not be aware of your participation and it will not affect your grade in the course or progress in the program. [Interacting with the post on social media may associate you publicly with the study.]
The consent form can be found at the start of the survey.
Thank you for considering participation in this project. Please feel free to use the Open Education Resource either way.
Thank you,
Dr. Suzanne H. Campbell, PhD, RN, FCNEI, IBCLC, CCSNE (PI)
Professor, UBC School of Nursing
