TIPS Course Materials

The TIPS course was designed as a train-the-trainer program to help IPs, nurse educators, and IPC educators learn how to integrate experiential learning, such as simulation, into the courses they teach. 

As the project concludes, we are pleased to share the full suite of course materials and facilitator guides. These resources are designed for easy adoption and adaptation, empowering educators to implement the content within their own institutions. For ease of use, the course has been organized into the modules below. Click on each subject to access all material pertaining to that subject. 

Course Materials

  • This module was made to welcome participants and onboard them to the course and the materials. During this module, please encourage participants to complete the “Why” worksheet, which is the first page of the Master Planning Document (link). This is also a great time to do the “Assessing Risk” activity, which you can find below.

  • In the second module, we do an infection prevention & control level setting. Depending on who is participating in this module, this may be seen as a refresher or all new material. During this module you can also do “IPC MadLibs” and/or the “Hierarchy of Control” activities, which are found below.

  • In the third module, there is level setting around vaccine safety & efficacy. As with the previous module, depending on who is participating in this module, this may be seen as a refresher or all new material. During the live session there will also be content around gamification. “Inoculation Intuition” is an activity you could present during this module, along with a supplemental worksheet about gamification.

  • In the fourth module, we introduce content around vaccine misinformation and how to combat it. During the live session you can play the game “Cards Against Vaccines, as well as role play some of the difficult conversations that happen around vaccines. There is also a supplemental worksheet about misinformation for participants to complete.

  • The fifth module is all about Simulation and gamification. Not only what these terms are, but how to incorporate them into your IPC trainings. If you deploy this content in person, then we have provided two simulation that could be done in groups. If this is done virtually, the live slides include videos of a simulation that can be discussed and analyzed.

  • In educational design and delivery, we discuss various processing styles in adult learners as well as how to overcome resistance and prepare a plan. Like in the 5th module, there is a “quiz” participants can take to learn their processing style, and then an activity they can do as a group.

  • This final module gives participants the chance to share the educational plans they have been working on throughout the course with their group/cohort members and the instructor team. Ideally, they are able to ask questions, get feedback and the hope is that they will walk away with a plan to implement this training at their home institution.
