Two postsecondary institutions have introduced simulation technology to help students connect their theoretical knowledge with real-world experience. The British Columbia Institute of Technology recently received two new flight simulators from Flightdeck Solutions. These simulators will provide Aircraft Maintenance Engineering students at the Aerospace Technology Campus with immersive learning experiences. At York University, the Osgoode Professional Development department launched the SIMulated Professional Learning Environment, which draws on a digital case management platform to give legal learners the opportunity to apply what they have learned to a simulated environment. “It is a more structured way of learning lawyering in a low stakes and supportive environment,” said YorkU OsgoodePD Executive Director Victoria Watkins Phibbs.
