"Welcome to RezEd (BETA), an online hub providing practitioners using virtual worlds with access to the highest quality resources and research in the field to establish a strong network of those using virtual worlds for learning."
This Youtube was developed by Chris Keesey at Ohio University. I met him as the 2009 Sloan C conference. This video was designed to promote the use of second life at the Ohio University Second Life Campus; a virtual campus featuring multiple learning and collaboration opportunities for students on the Ohio campus and all over the world. For more information contact: keesey@ohio.edu.
This site lists three case studies of how groups are using Second Life in education (The New Media Consortium, the Open University, and Loyalist College), as well as lists a few good links to more resources
The potential of SecondLife comes alive in this presentation. This virtual hospital is scheduled to open in 2011 by - PALOMAR WEST MEDICAL CENTER . Palomar West Medical Center is a Magnet designated facility.
This video (created by Claudia Kimbrough) shows the use of Second Life in two College of Management courses. This innovative teaching and learning environment is a part of NC State University's LITRE (Learning in a Technology Rich Environment) program and a part of VOLT: Virtual Online Learning and Teaching, a comprehensive, collaborative project on online learning led by Len Annetta.
"The use of simulation in graduate and undergraduate medical education and in team training has been demonstrated to improve trainee satisfaction. Multiple studies also have shown improvements in measures of provider self-efficacy and confidence."
