OSIME Research Group Awarded JISC Funding
Date added: 21/09/2009
The Online Simulation and Immersive Education (OSImE) Research Group within the Centre for Health and Social Care Research, Faculty of Health, Birmingham City University, have been successful in their bid for £75,000 of funds from the JISC to support a Virtual Worlds project aimed at communication skills training. The project, Communication Skills Learning in Immersive Virtual Environments (COMSLIVE), will apply the Project Wonderland Virtual Worlds toolkit in order to provide rich, fully interactive and immersive virtual world scenarios. Key aims of the project include exploring the extent to which virtual worlds training can scale to support large numbers of simultaneous users and reporting on the networkwork and CPU resource implications of this. The project will also explore the extent to which these VW resources can impact on learner behaviour in higher fidelity mannequin supported simulation scenarios. Project partners include Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and Middlesex University. If you want to know more about the project please contact: Nigel.Wynne@bcu.ac.uk. There will be a dedicated JISC and University website built within the next few months.
