Beyond the Simulation Lab: Designing Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) Simulations
Author
This workshop discusses how the operations specialist and educator can collaborate in designing immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of providing simulation-based experiences in a virtual environment. By utilizing immersive VR, simulation operations specialists and educators can extend experiential learning beyond the simulation lab. Using the innovative UbiSim Editor, you will learn the process of designing an engaging experience for the immersive virtual environment. This webinar was first shared at the SimGHOSTS Global Experience on August 5, 2020.
Learning Objectives of the Webinar:
- Identify the benefits of utilizing immersive VR simulation
- Discuss how operations specialists and educators can collaborate when designing virtual simulations
- Analyze the process of designing a simulation scenario for the immersive VR environment
Speaker: Maria D’Errico, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, CHSE, CHSOS.
Maria was a founding leader of the simulation design team for UbiSim, the world's first immersive VR platform for nursing. Working with partners across the globe, Maria empowered nurse leaders to successfully integrate immersive VR simulation into nursing curricula.
