Definition

The use of multiple modalities of simulation in the same simulation activity; differentiated from hybrid simulation in that it is not characterized by the combining of one type of simulation to enhance another, but rather the use of multiple types of simulation in the same scenario or place, e.g., SP and manikin used in a scenario or a task trainer paired with an SP for venipunture, etc. (Society for Simulation in Healthcare).

A mixture of textual, audio, and visual modes in combination with media and materiality with the aim of enhancing the realism of the simulation encounter (Lutkewitte).
