Training for DSUIA Department Heads on the Use of Innovative Methods and Simulation Technologies in Distance Learning

The event was conducted by Oksana Myslyva and Stanislava Mironyuk, instructors from the Department of Tactical and Special Training at DSUIA, with Rector Oleksandr Morgunov in attendance.

The head of the institution emphasized that tactical elements of police service, such as personal safety and first aid knowledge, are crucial components of police training. Therefore, all department heads need to develop necessary teaching algorithms for their disciplines.

During the event, a specialized training session was held for university department heads to promote the extensive integration and use of innovative methods and simulation technologies in DSUIA’s distance learning process through the OpenLabyrinth platform. The scenarios used focused on police officers providing emergency aid to virtual victims in the “First on Scene” situation.

Participants learned the correct execution of first-aid algorithms, which were practiced in simulated conditions across various scenarios.

Oksana Myslyva and Stanislava Mironyuk presented their experience in implementing the Simulation Medicine and Scenario-based Learning for Emergency Care (SimS) project. They discussed the feasibility of using virtual scenarios created on the OpenLabyrinth platform as visual algorithms within university courses, addressing typical operational situations faced by National Police officers and law enforcement activities.

This form of learning is also beneficial for practicing police officers who undergo further training at the university, particularly in the context of limited “offline” education opportunities due to the ongoing war.

Using the OpenLabyrinth platform enhances the efficiency of the educational process, ensuring continuous learning and increasing the amount of practical training for police officers.

DSUIA is a member of the international consortium for the Erasmus+ SimS project “Simulation Medicine and Scenario-based Learning for Emergency Care,” co-financed by the European Commission under the Capacity Building in Higher Education program.
