A Visit at Play2Train
September 24th, 2006 by dmirliss
A special thanks must go to Ramesh for taking the time to show me the biohazard simulation that he has built in Second Life. The Play2Train project is part of the Idaho Bioterrorism Awareness and Preparedness program. The program is described as:
The program’s objective is to enhance the knowledge and skills of health care professionals to meet the public health preparedness and emergency response demands resulting from acts of bioterrorism and other incidents. Training will assist and facilitate understanding of the needs and response measures as they relate to the following: Recognizing indicators of terrorist events; Meeting the acute health care needs of patients and victims, including pediatric or other vulnerable populations, including those with mental health needs; Participating in coordinated, multidisciplinary response to terror events or other health emergencies; and Rapidly and effectively alerting the public health system of such an event at the community, state or federal levels.
Ramesh making a building explode!
I hope to be able to allow my students to experience a virtual training simulation as part of our discussion on training and development. Stay tuned for some ideas…
