ATI is excited to announce a completely re-designed Video Case Studies student experience. What are Video Case Studies? When will you use this product during nursing school? And what can you look forward to with this product? We break it down for you below.
What are Video Case Studies?
Video Case Studies offer an easier way for you to grasp difficult concepts. Live-actor video scenarios help you visualize what to expect in clinicals, ending with a question. Next, practice using clinical judgment skills to form and articulate your own plan of care in response to the question with a video-recorded or (new!) written response. Then take an opportunity to watch your response and re-record if you like. Once you click submit, you’ll get to hear an expert response and can reflect on your own answer and what you might do differently. No more waiting for peer feedback or getting stuck with your initial recording. Feel confident in your answer and advance at your own pace.
What features can you look forward to?
Students enjoy:
+ Simplified and easy-to-navigate interface
+ Streamlined experience for completion on their own schedule
+ Flexibility to re-record their response before submitting
+ Option to write a response instead of recording a video
How does VCS help you as a nursing student?
Video Case studies helps students become more prepared for clinicals and professional practice by:
+ Promoting development of clinical judgment skills by challenging students to form their own plans of care without prewritten options.
+ Building students’ confidence in their ability to provide quality care and engage the nursing process by challenging them before clinicals to think through scenarios they may encounter and exposing them to cases they may not see until entering practice.
+ Strengthening students’ clinical decision-making skills with insight to “expert answers” that demonstrate evidence-based best practices for scenarios they’ve completed.
How to use it? Instructional step-by-step overview.
- EXPERIENCE
Students watch short, live-actor video scenarios that simulate situations or issues commonly encountered in clinical practice.
- PRACTICE
Students apply clinical judgment skills to formulate their own responses to the scenarios they’ve just viewed, uploading their video-recorded or written remarks.
- REFLECT
After submitting their own responses, students unlock scenario responses from experts, and then consider their own answers and complete a self-reflection.
- ASSESS
Upon completing each case, students assess their knowledge with 5-question tests, including answer rationales.
- EVALUATE
Faculty review student responses, reflections, and quiz results, providing scoring and feedback.

What students are saying about it?
“I feel as though this is a great way to engage students into learning more and submitting more online work. I also really enjoy the instructor and expert feedback as it gives the most information possible to achieve the correct answers.”
“I really liked that the layout was simple and easy to navigate. Anything I was asked to locate did not take me forever to find, and as a nursing student, time is of the essence when doing homework, so I enjoyed the fact that I was able to find what I needed and move forward relatively quickly.”
“The website and assignments are very easy to navigate, it is so simple that there is no need for instructions. The ability to automatically video record, write a response and receive feedback within the same page of the assignment is extremely pleasant as a user.”
