Mask-Ed™ - Enhancing learner engagement

Mask-Ed: The educator transforms into a person with a history/story which is relevant to the learning experience and becomes a platform for teaching. The technique involves a three-way interplay involving the educator, the character and the learner. The educator tin character directs the learning process as they create a spontaneous and realistic simulation experience. Mask-Ed was created by Kerry Reid-Searl. Kerry is well known for her creative contribution in simulation as reflected in her creation of Mask-Ed™ and Pup-Ed™. Kerry has been involved in undergraduate nursing education for more than 32 years. This has enabled her to design, implement and evaluate multiple simulations whilst also researching and publishing in the field. She has been the recipient of numerous national teaching awards and in 2020 was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to nursing education check out From one space to another: Kerry Reid Searl at TEDxNoosa 2014
