Debriefing facilitates student learning of critical concepts and faculty evaluation of simulation learning outcomes. However, effective practices in debriefing after virtual simulation, including the impact of software-generated performance feedback and asynchronous group debriefing, are not well understood. Student perceptions of two different methods of postsimulation debriefing were explored by comparing software-generated performance feedback only versus software-generated feedback combined with an asynchronous, faculty-facilitated, online discussion based on the 3D Model of Debriefing. The Debriefing Experience Scale was used to evaluate self-reported debriefing experiences in 68 advanced practice nursing students before and after implementation of an online discussion-board debriefing strategy. Students reported an improved debriefing experience when simulation software-generated feedback was combined with asynchronous online discussion compared with automated software-generated feedback alone. Implications for faculty are discussed including lessons learned to support online, asynchronous debriefing experiences, and how to engage students in meaningful discussions that triangulate feedback from the simulation software, peers, and their instructor.
