Web 3.0: Exploration of 3D and Simulated environments

NEXTPREVIOUS

The case for high-end media and simulated environments on healthcare:

Medical knowledge doubles every 6-8 years

There are new procedures and treatments emerging on a daily basis

The average Physician practices for 30 years and the average Nurse for approximately 40 years1

High-end media and simulated environments provide engagement, rich educational context, and experiential education

Continuing education is critical with restricted “learning time”

Interactive multimedia and simulated environments provide 20 times more “minutes on the message”

Not everyone has a large budget Maximizing their educational assets is key

So how do we go about delivering a successful media strategy?+

SIMULATIONS NEXTPREVIOUS

Standalone Animations and Simulations

Value in defining abstract scientific concepts

20 time greater minutes on message

(a 60 sec animation can explain a 10 page concept)

Proven value in education, no need for justification

Costs have been driven, due to market adoption

Self learning pieces or as a part of an educational framework

Virtual Gaming

Reasons Games Engage

Fun: Enjoyment & Pleasure

Play: Intense involvement

Rules: Structure

Goals: Motivation

Interactive: Doing

Outcomes & Feedback: Learning

Adaptive: Flow

Win state: Ego Gratification

Conflict, competition: Adrenaline

Problem solving: Creativity

Interaction with people: Social Groups

Representation & Story: Emotion PLAY ANIMATION

BACK

Mobile Media

Access to appropriate content in “context-aware” environments

Enabling media content into multiple devices:

Phone handsets

PDA’s

I-Pods

BACK

Media Embedded within file types (PDF)

Use of the animations and simulations within text based file types

Operations manuals and other technical documents can be interactive without separate locations for media content

OPEN INTERACTIVE PDF

Simulated Environment

Immersive 3D environments offer exceptional skill acquisition

Rich interactive learning context

Experiential “fail-forward” environment

Raising motivation and cognition in learners

Collaboration within 3D environments

The Current Trend and Food for Thought…

New Generation of Learners

Technology is available and affordable as long as you have a plan

Interactivity and collaboration are enhancing education

Game based learning creates a sense of personal investment
