This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $899,421 to Vanderbilt University to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted technologies that support reflection-based learning in nursing simulation training.

The key products delivered under this 3-year award, beginning October 1, 2024, include:

  1. A multimodal data analysis pipeline to collect and integrate learning analytics (e.g., eye gaze, video, movement data, computer action logs) during nursing simulations.
  2. An AI-based system with two learning modules: a Debrief Module to help students and instructors review key events from simulations, and a Reflect Module to allow students to comprehensively review their simulation experiences.
  3. Initial effectiveness studies to assess the system's impact on conceptual understanding, metacognitive judgment accuracy, and subsequent simulation performance for nursing students.

This exploratory research project aims to leverage recent advances in event understanding, learning sciences, and multimodal data processing to enhance self-regulation and reflection in simulation-based medical education.
