Relays Node ID to web-based

Looks up Node ID in AM, and gets data from
DAM and VPD/Manifest
Builds web page with response for
display, and sends data
packet into SL with response
Displays web page from URL, sends response data on hidden chat channel to

response on public chat
Displays any text response,

System Trials
3 groups of 4 students simultaneously Should have been through SL orientation 1 - 2hrs SL familiarisation with SGUL orientation Test scenario Rotate through 3 virtual patient cases
2 “object based” 1 “screen based”
Facilitators in SL and RL Test text and voice chat, same and different
rooms Additional refinement/testing followed Video and text chat capture & debrief

Feedback
Student Saw as valid addition to actor-based patient Wanted single user scenarios for revision Screen-based scenario not liked
Tutor Good task focus Mixed student ability New team dynamics
Technical – MVP model worked well Pedagogical – open nature of SL supported PBL Communications – voice best

Feedback
“Sometimes too much going on if you were the clicker, and sometimes easy to get carried away. Would be something you'd get used to.”
“Liked extra resources such as ECG. Would be useful to have more externalresources e.g. JCAL guidelines to look up drug dosage.”
“Making decisions helped learning. Decisions would be better if affectedscenario more.”
“Sometimes hard to realise what could and couldn't do. Quite impressed byfunctionality.”
“Good learning experience to mix trusts and look at other policies. Haspotential to train for major incident.”
“With refinement the scenarios would be really good.”
“The students seem to enjoy the scenarios and engaged in the scenarios well..”
“I found that students assessed the patient as they should. The students were able to talk about ways to assess the patient and discuss each step in detail before moving on. “
“Everyone had a good attitudethroughout the day”
“with text that you can go back and see what everyone has said”.
“Scenarios much easier to use with voice to collaborate, more natural”
