"In 2021, the Nursing and Midwifery Council said that we were allowed to use simulation [for some of the required 2,300 placement hours for nursing students]. Bodyswaps became an integral part of our approach, ensuring our students achieved their clinical hours while mastering critical skills in a simulated environment."

"Bodyswaps is a great way to look at the impact of immersive learning within the employability space. Through the world of virtual reality, students have been able to enhance their confidence and try a unique tech-enhanced approach to employability."

"Another area that we’ve found [Bodyswaps] really effective for is newcomers to Canada, people for whom English isn’t their first language. It seems to give them a better understanding of what an interview looks like here versus their home country. Some of the differences as well as some of the nuances of the English language."

"Students really appreciated the use of this type of simulation for communication skills training because of the psychological safety it offered them, regardless of the device they chose to use."

"One student, who’d never done VR before, was so happy with the immediacy of the learnings from Bodyswaps that they felt it was probably one of the most valuable things they’d done as a first year."

Associate Head Global Engagement and Educational Partnerships
"It very quickly became apparent that the ability to practise conversations - whether they're clinical conversations or general communication skills, in a safe space with no one else listening and no one paying attention where, if you made a mistake, you hit reset and you could start again - was amazing and it really opened people's eyes up to that."

"[Bodyswaps’] AI is very realistic, the script is very high quality, and I actually feel like I'm there. I feel like I gained lots of experience, but also it feels very safe that it's just between me and the AI."

"[Bodyswaps’ anti-racism modules are] the perfect resource to support course content or to use as an assignment after sessions on Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression. It provided my students opportunities to reflect on their own biases, and they shared that they felt more confident to talk about race and to challenge biases and microaggression."

"Bodyswaps will help give the folks we work with a chance to have an emotional connection with the skills being taught. The connection will ultimately instil the behaviours and habits necessary to be successful in the workplace."
