For instructors

See who needs you, and where your class struggles

Your classes, students and results are all here, with new pages that show what needs attention first.

Today: who has gone quiet or is behind on work that is due, what is coming up in the next 14 days, and recent test results. The progress grid says Met, In progress or Below minimum in words as well as colour, with CSV downloads and a Review link for every attempt.
Question analysis: the most-missed questions, the wrong answers students chose, and the lessons to revisit. After a miss, students choose Review this to go back to the lesson pages.
Your students: each class has its own join code and a Join handout with a QR code; students join at edgt.com/join. Or add students by email: students already at your school join straight away, and everyone else gets an invitation only they can use.
Due dates and a learning path: set a due date, a minimum time and a class minimum score, and students get reminder emails 3 days before, on the due date and the day after. Put the class’s work in order: a test or Skills Lab assignment opens once the step before it is finished, and reading and practice show what to finish first.
Tests your way: a time limit and a number of attempts for each test, extra time or extra attempts for a student who needs them, and your own tests from your school’s question bank (written by your school, not reviewed by EDGT).
Announcements and messages: post to the whole class, shown in EDGT and emailed if you choose, and write privately to one student, who can reply.

The instructor Today page: 5 students, 3 active this week and 11 tests submitted; under Needs your attention, two students not seen for 8 and 10 days with a skills lab due in 4 days; under Coming up, four items due in the next 14 days with how many students are done — Today: who needs a nudge, and what is due soon.

EDGT Chart

Realistic charting and medication safety, from practice to the skills lab

EDGT Chart is a teaching chart: an electronic health record for nursing education. Students use the same chart in practice, beside a manikin in your skills lab, and in every EDGT Sim case. Every patient is fictional.

Practice charting: students choose Check my charting. Entries are compared field by field, and notes are checked for the elements a good note needs and for “Do Not Use” abbreviations.
Skills Lab: build a fictional patient (banner, allergies, history, problems, orders, a medication drawer, earlier doses, vital signs, results, notes, intake and output), from scratch or from an EDGT practice patient.
Print the wristband and medication labels, with barcodes a USB barcode scanner reads. Every one says fictional patient, for education only.
Set it for a class with a due date, the time each student has and a rubric. Each student charts in their own copy, scans the wristband and the package, and EDGT checks the rights and stops a medicine the patient is allergic to.
Medication-safety exercises: put a deliberately wrong package in the drawer (another patient’s, the wrong strength, a look-alike drug) and the starter rubric scores whether the student caught it.
Grade with an EDGT starter rubric (awaiting nurse educator review) or your own, then release grades. With your LMS connected, grades go to the gradebook.

Building a skills-lab patient: the banner with name, MRN, date of birth, room, weight, code status and reason for admission, and an allergy to penicillin with its reaction, severity and drug group — Build a fictional patient.

Print the wristband: letter paper or a wristband printer, and a preview of two bands for the fictional patient Evelyn Burns, with an allergy, the code status, a barcode and the words fictional patient, for education only — The wristband, on letter paper or a wristband printer.

The rights checks after scanning: right patient, drug, dose, route and time OK; a warning that the package is 50 mg when the order is 25 mg; and warnings to chart the heart rate and blood pressure first — Scanning: the rights checks catch a wrong strength.

Grading with a rubric: Patient identification and Allergy check, each with four levels from Proficient, 4 points, to Not met, 0 points, and a comment box — Grading with a rubric.

Practice charting: two practice patients, Morning medicines and a refusal, and Post-op pain after a mastectomy, each with its tasks and a Start button, and How it works in three steps — Practice charting.

The Skills Lab page: four steps, Build a patient, Print band and labels, Set it for a class and Grade the charts; Start from an EDGT practice patient; and Rubrics with two EDGT starter rubrics — The Skills Lab, in four steps.

A preview of medication labels for Evelyn Burns: lisinopril, metoprolol tartrate, docusate sodium, enoxaparin and acetaminophen, each with its strength, a barcode and the words fictional patient, for education only — Medication labels with barcodes.

A skills-lab patient set for NUR 210: 3 of 5 charts started, 2 submitted, 2 graded and 2 released, and each student’s chart status and grade — Who has started, submitted and been graded.

A student’s skills-lab page: the chart is open for 90 minutes with a Submit chart button, and the scenario for Evelyn Burns, 78, with a urinary tract infection — The scenario, and how long the chart is open.

The chart for Evelyn Burns: banner with a penicillin allergy, code status and attending; tabs Summary, Orders, MAR, Flowsheet, Notes, Results and I and O; due medicines, abnormal results and the latest note — The student’s own copy of the chart.

The MAR: scheduled medications due at 09:00, a hold parameter for metoprolol, an allergy alert in red for amoxicillin-clavulanate, and a discontinued order shown as stopped — The MAR, with a hold parameter and an allergy alert.

An allergy alert: amoxicillin-clavulanate ordered for a patient with a penicillin allergy, flagged in red as the student starts to give it — An allergy alert while giving a dose.

What the student sees after release: 31 of 32 points, the instructor’s feedback, and each rubric part with its level and points — The released grade, as the student sees it.

EDGT Sim

Clinical simulation in the browser

Students care for a patient who responds to what they do, then see a scored debrief.

At the bedside: safety actions first (hand hygiene, introduce yourself, check the ID band, bed low and locked). In a practice run the clock moves when you act, and everything is recorded with the time on the clock.
Assessment: look, feel, tap and listen, with every finding written out. Heart and lung sounds play, each with a written description.
Vital signs: take them by hand, or use the live bedside monitor and print a six-second rhythm strip on ECG paper.
Care: position the patient, set the oxygen device and the pump. At key moments the clock stops for a clinical judgment question.
Call the provider or the rapid response team and hand off in SBAR. The chart is built into every case, and a scored debrief shows how the patient did.

An EDGT Sim case, post-op day 1 with shortness of breath: the patient in bed, actions grouped as safety, talk, assess, vitals, care, meds, tests, call and handoff, a bedside monitor and a timeline of what happened — The whole case on one screen.

The patient in bed, and the finding: diminished breath sounds at the right base, with a few fine crackles at the end of each breath in, some clearing after he coughs — A finding, written out.

Vital signs and monitoring: the pulse oximeter, ECG leads and BP cuff on, a printed six-second rhythm strip on ECG paper with a question, What rhythm is this, and the live monitor showing heart rate 103, SpO2 91, blood pressure 141/81 and breathing rate 23 — A six-second rhythm strip and the live monitor.

The provider’s answer after the SBAR call: get a chest X-ray and a CBC, keep his oxygen up, push the incentive spirometer, and call back with the results — After the SBAR call, the provider answers.

The debrief: the score out of 100 with the pass mark, and How the patient did, early atelectasis, with what was going on — The scored debrief.

The clock is stopped: recognize cues. Which of these findings need your follow-up now? Six findings to choose from and an Answer button — The clock stops for a clinical judgment question.

Calling the provider: the Situation and Background parts of an SBAR call, with true statements ticked and a box for your own words — Building the SBAR call.

The Chart tab inside the case: Harold Benton’s banner with two allergies, the summary with new orders from the provider, abnormal results, the latest note and his history — The chart inside the case.
