In October of 2010 CQUniversity trademarked a unique form of simulation, termed MASK ED (KRS simulation). This innovative and unique approach to simulation is gaining much interest at a national and international level. The following presentation will outline the history and a brief introduction to the pedagogy behind this technique. Preliminary findings from a learning and teaching grant will also confirm the impact that this approach has had on the learner. The presentation will also outline the future directions and possibilities for CQUniversity, Australia.
