Thanks to Pooky Amsterdam of Pooky Media Films for creating this video on some of the training we are doing in the virtual world of Second Life for Tacoma Community College's ADN (RN) nursing program. The virtual setting is Washington States SBCTC's Evergreen Island 2 (http://bit.ly/PatientRoleplayMUVErs).
Using our unique Patient Role Play system to interact in Second Life is far beyond what the virtual world was intended. Students have found this engaging, immersive, and lifelike enough to simulate real life medical situations and provide better learning as well as elicit real emotion. Cultural and gender issues can easily be incorporated. Contact us, John Miller or Cathy Walker, at MUVErs for more information.
