John Miller, a Nursing Professor, at Tacoma Community College in Washington is spearheading a nursing simulation hosted within Second Life. Scenarios can be simulated which reproduce life-threatening conditions in a safe ‘virtual’ environment. If you want to be a nurse then you need to go to school. Yikes! No worries!

hope it illustrates some of the advantages of 3D environments and some of the things that can be done to faciliate learning within a 3D environment. Here is a video I created for my "Learning in 3D Class" which contrasts the world of 2D Synchronous tools with 3D Synchronous learning tools. It is worth taking a look.

Wondered about how to use Second Life as a learning tool? This day long conference costs $65 and will be hosted inside of Second Life. During this conference, they will talk about and actually visit some of the best and most creative work being done in promoting science in a virtual world environment.

Many universities are using Second Life as a learning tool. The initial hype swept up many educators and institutions as it seemed that Second Life was this incredibly immersive learning environment.

Plans for future updates include the ability to share applications in the virtual environment, and to link whiteboards in physical meeting rooms with the virtual space to show up in both online and offline worlds. Here are two more.

With all the bad news in the virtual worlds space this week (read Not a Good Week for the Virtual World Space ), I wanted to point out that many healthy 3D virtual immersive environments still exist and more are coming on line daily. Blue Mars features CryENGINE™2 powered graphics for highly realistic avatars and environments.
