Continuing the theme from the previous post, there are some good resources resources for educators and researchers interested in using virtual worlds in their disciplines. Linden Labs actually provides a great deal of the resources for Education and Non-Profit Organizations . SimTeach uses a wiki to establish a community for sharing information in virtual worlds. They also include a list of universities who are using SL and a list of guidelines for educators in SL.

Day 2 at the Fedaral Consortium on Virtual Worlds was a little less eventful. There were two panels (one with international speakers and one with developers). There were also a series of workshops on different interest areas surrounding VW's (i.e. Education and Training, Development, Governance/Policy/Acquisition, Security, etc.). I attended the Education and Training workshop. Much of the discussion surrounded best practices, communities of practice, and combining resources to help build a VW picture/strategy for organizations. Much of the information will be pushed to the FCVW wiki ...

Ever have the need to know how to do something in Adobe Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and a host of other tools? Then link to Adobe's Video Center for free, high quality eLearning / simulations. In order to insure crisp graphics, make certain you put your browser into the full screen mode with at least 1024x768 screen resolution. Given the inclusion of Dreamweaver and Flash, I will add the content to the Engineering Learning Wiki engineering design tools and software sections.

I travel all over the world presenting research and ideas on simulations (typically to a larger group, before working more closely with a smaller group). But I am constantly stuck with the same conundrum - how do you capture the spirit of simulations while presenting material? (And just to say, I am no Thiagi. I cannot engage and delight anywhere near his level, if at all). I was at the Army War College on Friday, and tried something for the first time that was really great. I loaded up a copy of my wiki-like blog on each of the student computers. I gave them free permission ...

Last Summer Second Life was all the rage in the popular media. In fact, one of the most linked (and found) pages on this blog are the Second Life Tutorials  ( more SL posts ). However, as much as SL gathered media attention, the bigger interest for most of us was the discipline of engineering simulation and data visualization. While conducting some research recently, I became aware of an excellent visualization seminar series from Duke University. Like most ... Learning Wiki .

Medical Simulation There is a lot of discussion at the University of Saskatchewan about the use of medical simulation in health science education. To understand the decisions being made in this area, you need to understand that there are four distinct categories of simulation: 1. Physical Simulators 2. Human Manipulated Physical Simulators 3. Virtual Simulators 4. Virtual Environment Simulators Physical Simulators Physical simulators are reusable mannequins that students practise skills on such ...

As compared to ten years ago when there were roughly four major authoring tools, today there are a large number of different tools and different approaches to creating content. You can use standard authoring tools, rapid development tools, LCMS, simulation development tools, HTML editors, Wikis, and many others including a vast array of media creation solutions. And to make matters more difficult seems to be a constant flood of new tools. We literally have 100s of choices. So, this month, The Big Question is... Choosing Tools?
