Creating an Interactive Model for Simulation-Based Learning Environments

The purposes of this paper are to explore some of the important characteristics of the key elements of simulation and debriefing learning and expand our understanding of the critical interactions between these elements by introducing an Active Engagement Model to be used as a framework for creating a simulation learning environment (SLE) that fosters learner active engagement. A major learning methodology in healthcare education that is quickly gaining traction is simulation. The special qualities of simulation learning assist students strengthen their clinical reasoning abilities and, more significantly, provide a bridge between the classroom and real patient care. Learner active engagement is a critical requirement for effective learning during simulation and debriefing, which tasks educators to design simulation learning environments that foster learner active engagement. To foster learner active engagement, the educator and the learner must develop a dyadic relationship of trust, openness, sharing, and safety. The formation of this dyadic relationship implies that the learner has engaged in the learning environment. Educators should also understand the difference between a challenging environment and one that is perceived as threatening. A challenging environment is one where the learner has multiple opportunities to make critical decisions. The simulation literature lacks significant discussion of how the elements of the simulation learning environment can be used to create a learning environment that encourages active engagement in the learning process. From the information gathered through a literature search in CINHAHL, PubMed, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences databases, this article describes the critical elements of effective simulation learning. The educator/learner dyad is the functional entity of the paradigm, and it is made up of three components: the learner, the educator, and the environment. These components must work together effectively. After the teacher-student pair is established, every component of the model works together to create a productive virtual learning environment.

Towards Confidential Chatbot Conversations: A Decentralised Federated Learning Framework

The development of cutting-edge large language models such as ChatGPT has sparked global interest in the transformative potential of chatbots to automate language tasks. However, alongside the remarkable advancements in natural language processing, concerns about user privacy and data security have become prominent challenges that need immediate attention. In response to these critical concerns, this article presents a novel approach that addresses the privacy and security issues in chatbot applications. We propose a secure and privacy-preserving framework for chatbot systems by leveraging the power of decentralised federated learning (DFL) and secure multi-party computation (SMPC). Our DFL framework leverages blockchain smart contracts for participant selection, orchestrating the training process on user data while keeping the data local, and model distribution. After each round of local training by the participants, the blockchain network securely aggregates the model updates using SMPC, ensuring that participants’ raw model parameters are not exposed to others. The global model is encrypted and stored in hypermedia protocols such as the InterPlanetary File System. Participants decrypt the global model updates using their private keys to further fine-tune their models. Iterative training rounds are executed through the blockchain network, with participants updating the model collaboratively using SMPC. Experiments show that our approach achieves comparable performance to centralised models while offering significant improvements in privacy and security. This article presents a ground-breaking solution to privacy and security challenges in chatbots, and we hope our approach will foster trust and encourage broader adoption of chatbot technology with privacy at the forefront.
