Abstract
Online roleplay i.e. role play which occurs using an online asynchronous discussion board, can be effectively utilised to teach a variety of skills to midwifery students. This paper will discuss the design and implementation of an online roleplay for a small (n = 19) class of final year undergraduate Midwifery students. It briefly describes the design of the online roleplay and outlines the expected learning outcomes of the activity. It then outlines evaluative survey results for student evaluation of the online role play. Results focus on student opinion of communication and collaboration skills developed through participation in the roleplay. Students considered that the online roleplay provided them with a means to allow communication skills to be developed and practiced. They also believed that the roleplay enable them to practice collaboration in an authentic real world setting. Finally implications for use of this method of teaching in nurse/midwife education are discussed.
