ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The SUNY College at Oneonta has joined with SUNY
Ulster to construct a virtual medical facility in Second Life, a 3-D online
"world" through which educational institutions, businesses, organizations,
and individuals communicate, collaborate, and share. The project is designed
to offer nursing student teams at SUNY Ulster and elsewhere new
opportunities to conduct live patient simulations and role-playing
opportunities.
The facility will be constructed by students in the SUNY Oneonta
Computer Art
program under the supervision of Jim Greenberg, Director of the College's
Teaching, Learning and Technology Center.
As a project director, Mr. Greenberg will work with Hope Windle, a
multimedia instructional designer at SUNY Ulster.
"This is a opportunity for our students to use their 3D modeling skills
in a challenging and exciting new way," said Mr. Greenberg. "We appreciate
the opportunity to work with the Nursing Education faculty at SUNY Ulster."
More information on the collaborative project is available from Jim
Greenberg at greenbjb@oneonta.edu or (607) 436-2701.
