This document discusses using virtual worlds as an innovative teaching/learning strategy for healthcare professionals. It begins by outlining three learning objectives related to analyzing learning activities, designing virtual world activities, and assessing tools for implementation. Several types of learning activities that can be designed for virtual worlds are then described, including medical simulations, education sessions, support groups, and community health activities. Examples of specific virtual world platforms and activities used at various institutions are provided. The document concludes by discussing considerations and available resources for designing and implementing virtual medical simulations.

- 3. Learning Objectives 1. Analyze the types of learning activities that can 3 be designed for use in a virtual world platform. 2. Formulate the design process of a variety of virtual world teaching/learning activities. 3. Assess the tools necessary to implement various teaching/learning activities in a virtual world platform.

- 5. Virtual Reality Technology This is not a new concept Internet-based computer applications in which simulated environments are created. Active learning out of the gaming world “Residents” in the form of Avatars communicate, attend meetings and take part in simulations. (Skiba,2009; Robbins-Bell, 2010)
- 6. What are virtualworlds? Internet-based 3D simulated environments Users can interact via typed chat or real-time voice. Residents in the form of avatars attend meetings, communicate and perform simulations Over 150 Higher-Ed Institutions
- 7. Background New Generationof learners Application of Teamwork and Communication Universities and Healthcare Practice Facilities all over the world are building and using VR for their everyday classes, meetings and seminars.

Use Of VirtualWorld Platforms for Medical Simulation/Education? • Rapidly growing among • Suspension of serious educators disbelief? • Cost effective • Those who dislike • Distance Education Technology • Mature technology not • Power and bandwidth a fad • Personal connection • Many( VR )resources with avatar? are already available • Use of voice or text • References in packet chat?

- 36. Avatars Pre-Designed Make Your Own
- 37.
- 38. Orient to Environment •Just like a physical simulation lab, equipment, location of medication, etc need to be pointed out before the simulation begins. • Important in maintaining conceptual realism. • Awareness that as in a physical lab, the simulation environment will slow the reaction time of participants, as they still need to adjust to an environment they are not used to.
- 40. Didactic Pre-Brief VSReport • Depending on the objectives, how much time you have, the knowledge base etc…….. • The didactic could be given prior to simulation on-line or through a learning management system.
- 41. Virtual Medical Simulations • Define Objectives for the Simulation • Choose the Students • Write the Scenarios and Make Notecards • Build and Script the Sets and Decide Which Equipment is Necessary
- 42. Virtual Medical Simulations •Run the Simulation • Debrief with the Participants (Where the learning takes place)

Editor's Notes
- #3 Add your avatar picture here
- #5 Video we made for last year. See what you think???
- #7 Download software and sign in. Some of the uses are for support groups – ESL practice – medical and nursing simulations – disaster planning – quizzes Now I will show a short video clip that introduces Second Life and some of the Public Health/community building uses.
- #9 Jone - Refer to the landmarks in the handout so that they can see how much already exists out there.
- #10 Jone talk about this
- #11 An example of a place with many educational options.
- #12 Collaborative meeting
- #13 Another meeting place
- #14 Use of Google Docs for meetings
- #15 Example of a virtual poster session
- #16 Jone
- #17 H1N1 talk – physician from Denmark and from Delaware speaking about the movement of H1N1
- #19 Example of a classroom
- #20 Heart murmur sim/ Evergreen/ Virtual Hallucinations etc………………
- #21 An example of another kind of learning activity
- #22 Here are some examples of avatars you can purchase ready made. There are culturally diverse avatars, different ages, equipment for people with disabilities.
- #23 Clinic with notecard giver to build assignment
- #24 Computers directly interface with web
- #25 Kali can talk about this or we can just briefly talk about it and then tell them they are going there?
- #26 Kali speak to your set up here.
- #27 CDC UW Oshgosh etc……….
- #29 Stephanie speak about this???
- #30 Stephanie to speak on this direct opposite of Summerville
- #31 Tom can speak of it and could show excerpt of 3 min machinama
- #32 Tom – see example provided (handouts – I will bring)
- #33 Dawn speak about
- #34 Jone
- #35 Jone - Types of simulation: Medical Simulation , Role Play, Teamwork and Communication ,Psych/Mental Health,Practice with interviewing
- #36 Overview of medical sims
- #37 talk about how the literature shows that the connection to ones avatar is important to increase the feeling of presence and connection. And how the Bethel students(and all students) wanted to change their avatars.
- #38 Jane – discuss the orientation packet A chance to be oriented away and separate from the sim a must. Talk about the comments from the students about wanting more time to practice and get comfortable. Also talk about supplies and scrubs - Any time participants are running sims or practicing they should wear scrubs.Make sure all supplies are readily available and the participants have access to what they need. Refer to the fact that the first time out they will be teleported to Welcome Island. I don’t remember if the other places to practice were in the handout that I found…. Can refer to them.
- #39 Jane -
- #40 Can be like herding cats
- #41 Jone – talk about giving PPT’s etc. in Second Life – free viewers available save as JPEG and pop them in.
- #42 Review how a sim is run in SL.
- #43 Jane
- #44 Examples – first, Jone talk about HITS project
- #47 Funny video Wade made set to music.
- #48 Jane talk about Ann Myers Medical Center experience
- #49 Jane
- #50 Steph, Dawn, Tom mention how it needed to be more user friendly, and more orientation needed for students, lack of time to teach use and SL Navigation for Accelerated students
- #51 Jane - Work with a good builder and scripter from the beginning!!!!! The seedy side of SL. Need to warn them what is out there and some suggestions on how to deal with it? Explain that as in RL, same exists in SL, just avoid it! Technology available or comfortable with. Some schools do block this site because of the sex stuff. Cost if want to build own island. Ahemmm older participants struggle with this more than younger ones. Simulation in a physical lab is more work, but evidence is overwhelming that it is so incredibly beneficial; so it can be in a VW.
- #52 ALL
- #53 25 minutes for each rotation and 5 minutes to teleport etc………..
- #54 Put in Dawn Pope’s contact information
