Background:

COVID-19 accelerated adoption of virtual simulation in education, often without adequate pedagogical training.
A gap in resources for effective virtual simulation pedagogy was identified.
An interprofessional team developed the free, online Virtual Simulation Educator's Toolkit to address this need.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the usability and utility of the Virtual Simulation Educator's Toolkit.
To gather feedback for improving the Toolkit.
To assess the perceived ease of use and usefulness of the Toolkit among experienced educators.

Main Methods:

A three-step usability study was conducted with 20 experienced virtual simulation educators.
Participants completed a survey based on the Technology Acceptance Model.
One-on-one interviews were conducted to gather qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

The Toolkit received a 90% score on the Toolkit Experience Survey, indicating high ease of use and utility.
Interview data highlighted an urgent need for practical professional development tools in virtual simulation.
Participants provided recommendations for Toolkit improvement.

Conclusions:

The Virtual Simulation Educator's Toolkit is a practical and accessible professional development resource.
The Toolkit can benefit educators across various disciplines and experience levels.
The findings underscore the importance of supporting educators in virtual simulation pedagogy.
