LLM-based pedagogical agent for ICU simulation instructor training: A quasi-experimental study
Embedding an LLM-based pedagogical agent into ICU simulation instructor training was feasible and associated with more favorable learner-perceived simulation design quality and online learning self-efficacy, while usability did not differ from traditional blended learning. Findings are preliminary and hypothesis-generating; future multi-centre, adequately powered randomized controlled trials are warranted to determine efficacy and isolate the LLM component's independent contribution.
