A vast majority of the responses (94/102) across three items measuring efficacy fell in the neutral (3) to strong positive (1) ratings, indicating that the simulations were realistic and potentially beneficial. Furthermore the median value is at the positive (2) rating for the simulation for all items in both departments. Therefore, looking at the responses as a whole it appears there is agreement that the simulation is not perceived in a negative way except for 5 outlier responses.

Although faculty ratings were more spread out for these items as shown in image 2 below, more than half of all respondents reported being likely or very likely to both being open to trying the tool in a class during the current academic year and wanting to attend a demonstration of the simulation tool. Stated another way, a majority of the faculty would like to engage with the simulation tool in the future.

Faculty responded more positively for future engagement with simulations than the effectiveness of such tools in the video. We interpret this difference as an indication of respondents’ piqued interest in learning more about the application.
