Just back from presenting a paper at the Serious Games Conference with Mark Shufflebottom focusing on the production of a serious game. The project, a collaboration between the School of Heath and Social Care and NHS South West, was one of three HSC e-learning initiatives granted funding during 2007. Mark worked with myself and Ruth Lewis from the HSC Clinical Skills team to create a web-based virtual simulation of an infection control scenario. This presentation included a brief q and a and a demo of the application.
Lots of good reading in here………
“The ‘Emerging technologies for learning’ series aims to help readers consider how emerging technologies may impact on education and learners in the medium term. The publications are not intended to be a comprehensive review of educational technologies, but offer some highlights across the broad spectrum of developments and trends. It should open readers up to some of the possibilities that are developing and the potential for technology to transform our ways of working, learning and interacting over the next three to five years.”
