Abstract
Virtual learning environments are helpful pedagogical tools for scaffolded learning through building confidence and familiarization with life-like situations (De Freitas & Neumann, 2009). A complex problem in health courses is bridging the theory to practice gap. Experiential learning provides the opportunity to cross this bridge (Thompson & Gutschall, 2015). Virtual simulation has been used as a safe vehicle for skills-based training of medical students (Stevens et al., 2006) and shown to be a valuable learning tool for pre-clinical skill development (Gunn, Jones, Bridge, Rowntree, & Nissen, 2018). Drawing on the evidence of computer assisted instruction (Herriot, Bishop, & Truby, 2004; Raidl, Wood, Lehman, & Evers, 1995) in dietetic education, an online serious game was developed and is proposed to serve as template for developing critical thinking skills in dietetic students when providing nutrition care with potential for application in other allied health professions. This paper describes the development and reasoning of the CliNCare game, and acronym for Clinical reasoning in the nutrition care process.
