The Library According to Mary

This blog is about my experiences in the Educational Technology Ed.D program at the University of Florida. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. My interests include the intersection of libraries, education, and technology and their effect on distance education. I'm also exploring the concept of multiple literacies, including how media, visual, and information literacy relate and the implications for libraries.

Free Medical Simulations

When we were looking at examples of learning theories, someone demo'd UF's own Virtual Anesthesia Machine. The team who developed that simulation (lead by Sem Lampotang) have developed many medical related simulations, several of which are available for free from thier website. Here's the url and link: http://vam.anest.ufl.edu/instructorsims/simulationportfolio.php

I recently went to a conference for medical librarians (more on the conference in my next post) and the use of medical simulations for learning was a hot topic.
