Introduction 

One of the most important principles of teaching with virtual simulation is that, to maximize learning, educators need to follow a sound pedagogical process. The process, as outlined in earlier chapters, includes prebriefing, enactment, and debriefing. A fourth stage, evaluation, is essential to complete that process. Evaluation in virtual simulation may be described as the systematic examination of the learning activity, learners’ experiences and the facilitation process. Educators collect, and analyze data with the primary goal of improving the learning experience. Responsive evaluation, where educators evaluate, and apply what they learn to their practice, helps improve the virtual simulation experience, thereby promoting learning and learner satisfaction (Stake, 1975).
