Hi Maria, Thanks for this - looks impressive. Our Health and Bioscience department is looking to do something similar but we are not sure if what you've done can be adapted for our courses or how long it might take to build something like what you have on your island. I'll appreciate any information information you could give me regarding the build. Also, have your students started using the virtual hospital yet? If they have, I know it is early days yet, but do you have any feedback from them about the activities? Best regards, Remy. -----Original Message----- From: For anyone working in education with an interest in Second Life [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Toro-Troconis, Maria E Sent: 20 May 2008 19:03 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [SECONDLIFE] Game-based learning for Virtual Patients Hello all, The Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London has developed a region in Second Life that aims to design game-based learning activities for delivery of virtual patients. The first Virtual Patient can now be accessed in the Respiratory Ward (first floor of the virtual Sir Alexander Fleming building). Please note that in order to start the activity you need to access the Introductory notecard located at the reception of the Respiratory Ward (1st floor). Financial and hygiene issues are embedded in the delivery of the virtual patients. Investigations have to be bought and certain triggers, such as not washing hands, will halt some activities, so make sure you wash your hands every time you leave the patient's area.
