Debriefing in UbiSim

UbiSim follows Pearl's debriefing framework. Debriefing is available to students and faculty when they end a simulation session.

Updated this week

Debriefing has three components:

  • SESSION FEEDBACK: Feedback is based on how learners performed against the checklist.

  • GUIDED REFLECTION: Short form questions that the students have to type out.

  • POST-SIMULATION QUIZ: A means to assess students' knowledge via multiple choice questions.

Please watch the video below for an overview of these elements:

You may follow the steps below to get to the Debriefing:

Web Replay view

If the option is enabled within the 'Admin Settings' page, you will be able to view the web replay. This is a recording of your session (specifically, the facilitator screen) that is automatically uploaded to your UbiSim account:

Please note: prior to starting a session, the Web Streaming option needs to be toggled on. Web Streaming is required for a partner (peer or faculty) to facilitate the session on the web, and to view a recording of the web session during debriefing):
