5. Study of learning efficacy (VED 1, 2005) © 2011 IIL Inc. Virtual Thursdays at ILN, Feb 24, 2011 Subjects: 4th year medical students and 1st year residents Task: Manage trauma cases according to ATLS protocol Study design: Pre-test scenario, 4 learning and debrief scenarios, post-test scenario Evaluation instrument: EMCRM performance rating sheet

7. Question: If these systems are effective for learning, why do we not see more use of virtual world simulations for healthcare education?

11. Diffusion of Innovation © 2011 IIL Inc. Virtual Thursdays at ILN, Feb 24, 2011 Geoffrey Moore’s “Chasm”

12. Approach: How does one move from Evaluation to Trial? From Innovators, across the chasm, to Early Adopters? To study this problem, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the questionnaires, notes and transcripts. We also conducted informal market research.
