Students were divided into groups of 5–8 and rotated through ten specific learning activities that took place in various locations throughout the nursing building. ResultsStudent and faculty feedback indicated positive responses to this instructional strategy and also promoted a learner-centered teaching environment. ConclusionThis learning activity supports the use of educational gaming as a means to develop learner-centered environments that provide experiential experiences, enhance learning, and stimulate interest, and motivation for students to learn.
