In this presentation, I will showcase my recent experience piloting a novel, AI-supported platform, designed to simulate professional scenarios and environments. This pilot focused on a four-week interprofessional crisis simulation. Student teams, acting as stakeholder organisations, executed messaging strategies on a simulated social media platform to inform the public about emerging health risks and combat misinformation. The platform required them to adjust their messaging in real time to influence 1,500 users -whose theory-determined reactions leveraged LLMs and AI-image generation. This provided highly realistic social media posts and reactions, creating an interactive learning experience and leading to vastly improved student engagement.
