In addition, handouts of a PowerPoint presentation following a
lecture can have some self-assessment questions, which in turn can
become teaching materials for a follow-up session. This iterative use
of teaching materials helps to integrate learning and facilitates the
transformation of learning from the classroom to the workplace.
Simulation exercises as a teaching resource have been shown to be
an effective tool for shortening training times in the development
of technical skills (Kneebone et al. 2003).
