VESIM/NESIM
We believe that learning is paramount. We accept a duty to contribute. Our purpose is to enhance the use of virtual worlds as delivery platforms for education. Our goal is creation and development of methods and tools to facilitate our purpose.
.NESIM was created as a tool to help investigate virtual worlds as delivery platforms for distance education. Driven by our core belief that learning is paramount and education must not be unduly hampered by its own delivery, we have endeavored to create virtual tools that are unequivocally useful. The NESIM project exists to develop and provide healthcare training simulations. We are unbound by discipline and are committed to enhancing the virtual educational environment. We hope our contribution is of value in the real education of healthcare professionals worldwide.
VESIM is the extension of NESIM as it applies not only to healthcare simluations, but potentially any area of interest.
