Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of simulation in diagnostic radiography education, simulated learning activities in physical and virtual radiography simulated learning environment, and presents easily accessible, efficient, equitable, and inclusive platform technologies and software for simulated learning. Physical and virtual simulation activities specific to the role of diagnostic radiographers are described. Platform technologies and software that support these simulated learning activities are also described. Users' ability to access some of these platforms offline and freely overcomes the context-specific factors (technology and educational resources) that affect diagnostic radiography teaching and learning. Incorporation of these tools into teaching and learning should allow diagnostic radiography training institutions across the world to learn and succeed from context-appropriate knowledge.
