A 5-year retrospective: What have we learned about teaching virtual work skills?

Five years ago, the authors of this proposal met for the first time at OBTC Asheville, and from that meeting began a collaboration in both research on and teaching of virtual work skills. In light of the MOBTS 2018 theme of “Reflective Reinvention,” we propose a session that brings back to MOBTC some of the virtual work skills teaching methods and tools that we have developed in the years since our first OBTC encounter. Using participant-centered demonstrations and discussions, we share four teaching activities, including two mini-cases and two simulation exercises, all designed to enhance effectiveness in working virtually.
