Abstract
Learning simulations are arguably the best way for healthcare professionals to demonstrate mastery of specific knowledge and skills. The objective of this research is to provide an innovative blended learning model that synthesises artificial intelligence and augmented reality. A case study approach was used with a post-graduate research methods module. Students generated questions and referenced answers for an online multiple-choice quiz as part of the ipsative[1] assessment design. An AI generator was also used by the healthcare practitioners to produce pre-test samples. A blended learning simulation was conducted with students in the classroom and via Teams. Additionally, the event was recorded using an augmented reality 360* camera to create a video recording which the viewer could click on to see anywhere in the room while reviewing the simulation. The debriefing session was also 360* recorded. Auto-transcription of the session was then analysed by an AI generator to match the module learning outcomes with evidence of attainment. This mapping of the learning outcomes was to text examples and skills demonstrated. The conclusion of the study has identified the need for further refinement of the model. The student-made quiz needs to be built into the marking scheme, so students are recognised for contributions. During the simulation the simulated patients (Facilitators not Students) need to be given a script of key words linked to the learning outcomes. This will aid the AI analysis to better map the evidence of mastery. The next stage of the study plans to add digital twins (AI generated Avatars) as and additional debriefing on-screen facilitator to prompt the stakeholders to reflect on how they could improve. The script is based on the Plus-Delta debriefing design for a co-debriefing session. This blended learning model provides healthcare professionals with an applied approach to provide evidence needed for continuing professional development.

Here is the abstract and conclusion for the paper we are submitting below. Please email abasiel@gmail.com if you would like the full draft paper. This is a sample AI video I made to demonstrate how we can use AI to make a learning simulation:
Abstract
This paper explores the theory and practice of using artificial intelligence (AI) in curriculum and assessment design. The objectives are to apply AI in four stages. First, using AI in a multiple-choice question student-generated pre-test. This helps establish prior or tacit knowledge of the learners and stakeholders. Second, using AI in conjunction with blended learning role-plays or simulations. The third stage uses AI to construct and evaluate a post-simulation debriefing. Finally, in assessment stage four, AI is used to map the learning objectives to the evidence in the video recording transcripts. A case study methodology gathers evidence through surveys, interviews, video recorded observations and AI analysis of transcript text. The study concludes that AI can be integrated into the various stages of curriculum and assessment design in the role of a ‘thought partner’ as well as content producer. In these early days of applying AI to teaching, learning pedagogy and assessment an evidence-based approach to this innovative convergence of technology is recommended.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, assessment, curriculum, debriefing, pre-test, role-play, simulation, transcript evaluation.
- Conclusion
The objectives of this paper are to apply AI in four stages of the curriculum and assessment of learning simulation designs. The first stage used AI in a multiple-choice question student-generated pre-test. Learners answered questions and critically reviewed topics. AI was demonstrated in conjunction with blended learning role-plays or simulations by producing possible scenario descriptions and/or scripts. AI was used to construct and evaluate a post-simulation debriefing script in the next stage of the model learning objectives were linked to key words as evidence to support its use in assessment.
Limitations
The various pilot case studies presented in this paper were conducted with small sample size groups. Further case studies using the 4-stage AI learning simulations model are needed to gather more evidence from cross-disciplinary use.
Recommendations
Each stage of the application of AI to the curriculum and assessment models presented in this paper can be applied to the context of the reader through these recommendations:
- As the pre-test question pool grows, a review of the quality of the MCQs can filter out weaker samples.
- Simulations and role plays can be synthesized with traditional instructional materials to provide learners’ a safe setting to develop knowledge, skills and confidence.
- AI has the potential to support debriefing and reflection on learning through more applications of transcript analysis.
The authors encourage readers to contact them for collaboration opportunities to further research and develop the learning models and technologies introduced in this paper.

The UK university that I work at as a Lecturer in Computing user experience (UX) design has started a new initiative to promote AI. They are evaluating an online training certification mini-course. Students and staff can go through a set of text-based materials with supporting videos that have closed captions. This is followed by a traditional multiple choice question (MCQ) quiz. A traditional eTraining instructional design. The assessment is not meant to be ‘open book’, so you should be using your short-term recall of the lesson to answer the questions.
This got me thinking about how AI can be applied in an innovative way to this learning design. Can I copy the question and answer choices into an AI generator to solve the quiz? Is this cheating?
What is the purpose of this training? To verify my understanding of AI content? To motivate me to want to embrace using AI in the university lessons?
How can we actually use AI in the assessment process to apply our knowledge and skills to solve real-world scenarios? Here is the real challenge.
