[15:45]  DoctorAnn Buchanan:

 After my brief introduction,

 one of the AMMC students, Vera Zhaoying will give a short talk about the impact of SL and the AMMC on her medical training. We are very fortunate to have Vera as a student and her visions for the center. She has developed the AMMC Women’s Health Center, both for RL patients and for Medical training.

 I also will be introducing Davis Stastny, the Sprott-Shaw College manager and without whose wonderful assistance the AMMC would not exist as it does today. Sprott-Shaw has supported the vision so completely and I would, personally, like to thank Davis and the College President for their vision and assistance in the development of this training program. Davis will be speaking to you in a few moments about the utilization of SL from a college perspective.

Lastly, I have asked Randal Moss of the American Cancer Society to give a discussion of the opportunities available for organizations like the ACS within SL.  he ACS has an area within SL, which is utilized by many, many cancer survivors.

Poppy Zabelin was going to be speaking to you on behalf of the Cancer Survivor group. Unfortunately, something occurred at the last moment and she was forced to change her plans.  http://www.cancer.org/slrfl

 Yes on more “First” … But it’s good to see a mix between mirror worlds, like Google Earth and Second Life. Remember “Second Earth“.

This new hospital of Second Life is coming soon on a new sim above the Play2train sims : Asterix and Obelix.

A place not build for us avatars In World, I’m sure it will not be easy to walk in, and I will feel lost inside. But so are hospitals and a lot of places …  It will be fun !

More pictures of the REAL hospital.

Presentation on Slideshare

Transcript of Perplexity Peccable

[9:02] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 1/18 - 1 WAD slide

[9:03] Carolina Keats: so - to all - if you haven’t been here before – welcome to Healthinfo Island, and to the celebration of World AIDS Day!

[9:03] Carolina Keats: or if you have

[9:04] Carolina Keats: I’m a consumer and medical librarian, and coordinator for HealthInfo Island, a project funded by National Library of Medicine.

[9:04] Carolina Keats: The project has an objective of supporting the health information needs of SL residents.

[9:04] Carolina Keats: Anyone can come here or IM me with a health question, and I will search for information. There is never a charge for this service.

[9:04] Carolina Keats: Before we get going, I want to point out that I’ve got some displays and handouts set up here.

[9:04] Carolina Keats: Check between the benches and you’ll find a handout I’ve prepared for the class that provides you links to the resources used today and some other tips I hope will be useful for all information – not just health, and not only online.

[9:05] Carolina Keats: The sign to my right lists a schedule of classes given here – and I’m planning others, including a series about searching PubMed.

[9:05] Carolina Keats: behind you, Epictetus

[9:05] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 2/18 - 2 WAD slide

[9:05] Carolina Keats: Today I’m planning to begin by checking out Google, especially their new Beta project

[9:05] Carolina Keats: Then we’ll move on to MedlinePlus, looking at some of the features of that site.

[9:05] Carolina Keats: As we go, I’ll be asking everyone to explore a bit, then come back to share what they found.

[9:05] Carolina Keats: Questions people have about AIDS, as with other health topics, range from the basic to more complex or ‘advanced’ levels.

[9:06] Carolina Keats: Examples might range from ‘what is AIDS’ or ‘how is it diagnosed’ to how one would go about finding a support group, what kind of clinical, experimental research is going on, or particular information about statistics or regional services.

[9:06] Carolina Keats: The resources we’re looking at today are ‘doorway’ resources, and best suited to basic and intermediate level questions.

[9:06] Carolina Keats: I will say now, and repeat later, that I am here to assist people with questions at all of these levels.

[9:06] Carolina Keats: If I was pressed to characterize consumer health librarianship, I would say this: we are here to strengthen and empower the health consumer (and of course, we are ALL ‘consumers’ of healthcare).

[9:06] Carolina Keats: If you have questions, about AIDS/HIV, or other health concerns, I am available for individual consultation. However, I am not a health professional. I’m an information professional.

[9:07] Carolina Keats: This means I’m not qualified to diagnose or treat, but consider myself your partner AND the health professional’s partner - able to find good quality information for you and for the healthcare team.

[9:07] Carolina Keats: Meanwhile, we can share this knowledge before us – and jump in to exploring these resources.

[9:07] Carolina Keats: Is everyone able to open a browser window as well as the Second Life window?

[9:08] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 3/18 - 3 WAD slide

[9:08] Carolina Keats: Here, of course, is Google.com, which as far as I know is still the search engine that indexes the most web pages of any search engine on the internet.

[9:08] Carolina Keats: If you are not aware of this, I’d like to share with you the information that NO search engine indexes more than around 20-30% of internet web pages.

[9:08] Carolina Keats: It’s super-easy to type in a term like ‘hypertension’ and hit enter – millions of people do searches in just this way, every day (and I do, too – it works).

[9:08] Carolina Keats: If you’re finding what you need by doing this, it just doesn’t make much sense to do a whole lot more.

[9:08] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 4/18 - 4 WAD slide

[9:08] Carolina Keats: Well, but – 221 MILLION results? Where do we start?

[9:09] Carolina Keats: I’ll begin with a look at some features of Google, which I and lots of others use for searching the internet.

[9:09] Carolina Keats: You know, I could easily spend an hour on just Google, or just MedlinePlus, and we’d only be scratching the surface –

[9:09] Carolina Keats: So please, be aware that the information today is really a sort of ‘over the top’ view of SOME of the features and tools available through those resources.

[9:10] Carolina Keats: I’ve asked people to open a browser window because we’ll be doing a little hands-on exploration as we go

[9:10] Carolina Keats: I was really intrigued, though to see what Google’s doing with a beta project and took time to explore – we’ll take a look at that

[9:10] Carolina Keats: before moving on to MedlinePlus.gov, a great portal site that leads to a lot of high quality information.

[9:10] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 5/18 - 5 WAD slide

[9:10] Carolina Keats: I don’t particularly like that Google incorporates commercial content into their results, but at least it’s labeled

[9:11] Carolina Keats: be aware that for some health sites, this isn’t the case

[9:11] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 6/18 - 6 WAD slide

[9:11] Carolina Keats: Check out this very new feature – providing a categorized table of links. This can save you lots of time.

[9:11] Carolina Keats: But I did find, looking at what’s grouped under the links, that all sorts of content is included.

[9:11] Carolina Keats: This slide shows just a straightforward search for the term ‘aids’ and its categories, but there’s more happening if you just look for it -

[9:11] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 7/18 - 7 WAD slide

[9:12] Carolina Keats: This all appears to be part of Google’s new beta for health, which uses extended categories.

[9:12] Carolina Keats: here, though, I’m showing the tagging they’ve begun to do

[9:12] Carolina Keats: labeling things with content provider information and things that can help you know if the site providers comply with quality standards, like HON

[9:13] Carolina Keats: which is just one of these standards, voluntary quality compliance that requires the listed things - that you see here on this slide

[9:13] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 8/18 - 8 WAD slide

[9:13] Carolina Keats: Going to that beta site, we see an expanded version of the categories – and more.

[9:13] Carolina Keats: I see this is rezzing slowly

[9:14] Carolina Keats: When I did a search for the term ‘aids’ this time, I noted that the top results are provided by organizations such as the CDC.

[9:14] Carolina Keats: look at the extended categories!

[9:14] Carolina Keats: take 2 minutes now to go to this link - www.google.com/coop/topics/Health

[9:15] Carolina Keats: it’s ok if you can’t - if not, you can go later and poke about

[9:16] Carolina Keats: I suggest you glance through the text listed under ‘health,’ review the category list, take a look at the contributors list by scrolling down.

[9:16] Carolina Keats: Or you can do a search if you’d like, paying attention to where the information’s coming from.

[9:18] Nadezda Markova: is this the custom search service, that you wanted us to look at?

[9:18] Carolina Keats: great - nadezda, did you see anything you can share?

[9:18] Carolina Keats: this is the new google beta for health

[9:19] Nadezda Markova: I wasn’t quite sure, but the information seems to come from reputable participants

[9:19] Carolina Keats: yes

[9:19] Carolina Keats: Looking into this a bit more deeply, I found that Google has partnered with the CDC and other reputable organizations to link and label quality health information so that we, as searchers, can more easily find it.

[9:19] Nadezda Markova: I wondered how much you only get the standard answers, while nonstandard answers, some of which might be useful, get filtered out?

[9:19] Carolina Keats: do you mean, more tailored information?

[9:20] Nadezda Markova: well,, yes

[9:20] Carolina Keats: yes - these resources are probably best for introductory and intermediate level questions

[9:20] Nadezda Markova: the sort you get that tends to be somewhat similar on all sites and gives you the fundamentals ,but doesn’t take you much further

[9:20] Carolina Keats: disease descriptions, - right

[9:21] Carolina Keats: but you are going to have trouble finding tailored info (reputable tailored info, that is) anywhere except something like pubmed

[9:21] Starlight Vandeverre is Online

[9:21] Nadezda Markova: is medline available on that part of google?

[9:21] Carolina Keats: they can lead you to organization pages where further info is available

[9:21] Carolina Keats: you know, I’m not sure

[9:21] Carolina Keats: I didn’t see it

[9:22] You: Google Scholar leads you to pubmed results

[9:22] Carolina Keats: this beta’s so new - we need to do some more exploration

[9:22] Nadezda Markova: Google scholar is a good element

[9:22] Nadezda Markova: how do you get to the beta?

[9:22] Carolina Keats: there are some very interesting things happening

[9:22] Carolina Keats: if you get a notecard from the poster between the benches, the beta site’s one of those listed

[9:23] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 9/18 - 9 WAD slide

[9:23] Carolina Keats: something more I noticed – new since the last time I taught about the Google beta for health.

[9:23] Carolina Keats: I use Google’s email and a number of their other tools, so I was signed in to that while I was preparing for the class.

[9:23] Carolina Keats: I had never seen the ‘NOTE THIS’ feature so checked it out -

[9:23] Carolina Keats: They’ve integrated this new tool with all the google searching, so now I can create a listing of good things I’ve found while I’m searching!

[9:24] Carolina Keats: second, I am not talking about it today, but in the class I teach called ‘Looking for Health,’ I discuss Google’s advanced search features.

[9:24] Carolina Keats: For those who use it, it appears that there is a limited ability to combine advanced search features with the Google beta search –

[9:24] Carolina Keats: after you have already done your search, you will notice that the ‘regular’ search box shows up, giving you the option of an advanced search.

[9:24] Carolina Keats: I tested this by requesting that my retrieval results be limited to only sites whose URLs ended in ‘.gov’ (governmental sites) and this was successful, bringing up .gov sites that categorized with the new beta subjects.

[9:24] Carolina Keats: This is potentially an extremely powerful tool

[9:24] Carolina Keats: I know I haven’t covered all of them, but I do suggest that when you can, you take time to check out the new beta – you never know when it’ll come in handy, and save you time and frustration.

[9:24] Carolina Keats: Don’t be surprised to see frequent changes

[9:25] Carolina Keats: I’m moving on to medlineplus.gov now, does anyone have any other comments about this resource before I do?

[9:26] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 10/18 - 10 WAD slide

[9:26] Carolina Keats: MedlinePlus.gov is what is called a ‘portal’ site, in that it’s a web page that acts as a doorway to lots and lots of other information.

[9:26] Carolina Keats: though it is very US-centric

[9:26] Carolina Keats: It’s created by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, 2 reliable and credible sources of health information.

[9:27] Carolina Keats: and by the way, there are some international AIDS links listed in that handout, because we’re aware that this is so US focused

[9:27] Carolina Keats: Like Google – MedlinePlus is way too extensive for us to thoroughly explore all the incredible features.

[9:27] Carolina Keats: However, I will point out a few, and again, suggest that you bookmark the site, then take a few minutes on your own to explore – it may save you time later on, when you need it.

[9:27] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 11/18 - 11 WAD slide

[9:27] Carolina Keats: Taking a look at the main page, note the following: - a search is available right up top - the listing on the left side serves as a topical index to whole collections of information

[9:27] Carolina Keats: if it comes up!

[9:29] Carolina Keats: there, it’s rezzed for me - can you see?

[9:29] Carolina Keats: there is SO much in this portal site

[9:30] Carolina Keats: they’ve made a number of improvements

[9:30] Carolina Keats: including their organizational scheme

[9:30] Carolina Keats: anyone who’s done a webpage knows it’s hard to second-guess the user

[9:30] Carolina Keats: since everyone will look a different way

[9:31] Carolina Keats: great - as I said, check out the search box

[9:31] Carolina Keats: and the list of the categories running down the left side

[9:31] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 12/18 - 12 WAD slide

[9:31] Carolina Keats: clicking on ‘Health Topics’ takes you here – see how it’s organized? You can look for broader information (for example, ‘Brain and Nerves’) if you don’t know a more specific topic

[9:32] Carolina Keats: - notice the options on the lower right, for easy to read resources, for those with vision problems, and to tutorials.

[9:32] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 13/18 - 13 WAD slide

[9:33] Carolina Keats: so, you can go in by body system, by diagnosis, etc

[9:33] Carolina Keats: also a sort of ‘top hits’ button

[9:33] Carolina Keats: or by demographic group

[9:33] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 14/18 - 14 WAD slide

[9:34] Carolina Keats: There are at least 3 different ways to find information using MedlinePlus, which I’m showing here

[9:34] Zsuzsa Tomsen is Offline

[9:34] Carolina Keats: 1) You can use the basic search engine, which you’ll find at the top of every page in this site.

[9:34] Carolina Keats: Please note, though, that you’re likely to bring up a whole lot of things, probably way more than you want or need.

[9:34] Carolina Keats: 2) Using the tabs on the site gets you to information in a particular topic area, such as Health News – and you can search within those results to narrow down what you want.

[9:34] Carolina Keats: 3) For a great general overview of a topic, though – like AIDS, I prefer to begin with the alphabetical listings.

[9:35] Carolina Keats: I’ve done that, going to the alpha listing for aids

[9:35] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 15/18 - 15 WAD slide

[9:35] Carolina Keats: There is so much to look at for these listings that I would like to have everyone ‘take 2’ again to explore what comes up when you use the ‘A’ and scroll down to find the link for AIDS.

[9:35] Carolina Keats: Please explore that page, then come back to share what you’ve seen Here’s the URL: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics_a.html

[9:36] Nadezda Markova: this is a really great resource

[9:36] Carolina Keats: it really is!

[9:36] Carolina Keats: as I said - I could do a class on just this and only cover the top level

[9:37] Carolina Keats: the modular flash tutorials are particularly helpful for those with vision or literacy problems

[9:37] Nadezda Markova: yes I was noticing those

[9:37] Carolina Keats: since they are self-paced, and there is a voiceover

[9:38] Carolina Keats: we’re just ‘taking 2′ to explore medlineplus.gov

[9:38] Carolina Keats: it’s an amazing resource

[9:39] Carolina Keats: is everyone back?

[9:39] Carolina Keats: what do you think?

[9:39] Epictetus Theas: yes…fantastic resource Carolina

[9:39] Carolina Keats: did anyone notice the ‘golocal’ links?

[9:40] Carolina Keats: (that’s ‘go local’)

[9:40] Nadezda Markova: yes, I noticed that

[9:40] Carolina Keats: if you’re not familiar with this - GoLocal is created regionally as a way to link from and to local resources like clinics

[9:40] Carolina Keats: only us

[9:41] Carolina Keats: and for most states the info is skeletal - this is a huge project

[9:41] Carolina Keats: but you can find local physicians, hospitals, libraries, and much more

[9:41] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 16/18 - 16 WAD slide

[9:41] Carolina Keats: as I’d said, I’ve put a handout between most of the benches that includes the URLs we’ve begun to explore here.

[9:42] Carolina Keats: One of the features of that handout is a decision aid to health information, part of which is on this slide.

[9:42] Carolina Keats: These are directly related to something I talked about earlier, the idea that health information needs can be classified according to their ‘level’ of need.

[9:42] Carolina Keats: I have included here material types that are not solely limited to the internet, but also encyclopedias and other (potentially) paper-based resources.

[9:43] Carolina Keats: Medical librarians are available in many universities, and in many hospitals, not just here in Second Life, and we’re good at helping find information to help empower you in your search for health, as a partner to your healthcare providers.

[9:43] WhiteBoard (n): Showing Image 17/18 - 17 WAD slide

[9:43] Carolina Keats: I hope it’s been interesting to check out what’s happening with Google’s new beta, with MedlinePlus.gov, and to see how these and other resources can help you find quality information in answer to your questions about AIDS as well as other health concerns.

[9:44] Carolina Keats: thank you so much for being here today!

[9:44] Nadezda Markova: thanks so much for a truly informative session

[9:44] Carolina Keats: I hope you’re planning to stick around - look at the displays, go to the presentations we’ve got

[9:44] Carolina Keats: you’re really welcome

[9:44] Epictetus Theas: Wonderful Presentatio Carolina…thank you!

[9:44] Carolina Keats: I learned about the google beta project in creating this

[9:45] Carolina Keats: thank you!

[9:45] Wil Albatros: Thank you, Carolina. It’s been very infomative and helpful.

[9:45] Perplexity Peccable: I will have a notecard in a moment of the cleaned up transcript if people want it.

Web GIS in practice V: 3-D interactive and real-time mapping in Second Life
Maged N Kamel Boulos, David Burden
International Journal of Health Geographics 2007, 6:51 (27 November 2007)
[Provisional PDF]

Abstract :
This paper describes technologies from Daden Limited for geographically mapping and accessing live news stories/feeds, as well as other real-time, real-world data feeds (e.g., Google Earth KML feeds and GeoRSS feeds) in the 3-D virtual world of Second Life, by plotting and updating the corresponding Earth location points on a globe or some other suitable form (in-world), and further linking those points to relevant information and resources. This approach enables users to visualise, interact with, and even walk or fly through, the plotted data in 3-D. Users can also do the reverse: put pins on a map in the virtual world, and then view the data points on the Web in Google Maps or Google Earth. The technologies presented thus serve as a bridge between mirror worlds like Google Earth and virtual worlds like Second Life. We explore the geo-data display potential of virtual worlds and their likely convergence with mirror worlds in the context of the future 3-D Internet or Metaverse, and reflect on the potential of such technologies and their future possibilities, e.g., their use to develop emergency/public health virtual situation rooms to effectively manage emergencies and disasters in real time. The paper also covers some of the issues associated with these technologies, namely user interface accessibility and individual privacy.

Traduction en français de la page des concepts de JSLPlus sur JoomlaCode.

Par Phrearch Miles .

Traduit par Daneel Ariantho :p

Quelle est l'idée derrière jSLplus?

1) Second Life et le besoin d'informations textuelles claires

Les résidents dans Second Life communique par le chat. En réalité, la seule manière rapide de communiquer par texte dans Second Life est via ce canal de communication. Ce système n'était pas prévu pour le stockage massif de textes, comme nous le voyons aujourd'hui sur les sites Web. Par exemple, il ne sera pas fonctionnel pour mettre en place un wiki, en utilisant le Chat de SL. Il n'est pas non plus très efficace pour créer un système communautaire fondé sur un système de chat. Pourquoi? Il manque à Second Life 2 composants de base qui sont:

• Un système de base de données dédié au stockage
• Un affichage textuel propre et rapide

Les communautés peuvent utiliser les fonctions de groupe dans Second Life, mais il est encore limité à la gestion des droits et à la communication par le chat. Il y existe plusieurs initiatives pour combler ces lacunes. Il y a le projet llMozLib, qui tente de mettre un navigateur Mozilla complètement fonctionnel sur une primitive. Ce projet est particulièrement passionnant, mais il ne semble pas bénéficier des ressources dont il a besoin (ce qui est une honte). Donc, il ne faut pas s'attendre à sa réalisation à court terme.

[Note de Daneel Ariantho : Philip Rosedale a mis une équipe de développement en interne à Linden Labs à plein temps dessus.]

Une autre initiative est un lsl script avancé (xyzzytext), qui peut pousser jusqu'à 10 character-textures sur une primitive, et améliore la vitesse en exploitant des scripts esclaves. Xyzzytext est le meilleur système textuel In World pour l'instant. Bien qu'il repousse les limites du LSL , il ne sera pas comparable à du texte et des fonctions de base de données qui sont pris en charge par tous les langages du Web.

Le projet Sloodle adopte une approche différente. Au lieu d'afficher du texte dans Second life, il reconnaît que le Web 2D est de loin supérieur pour l'affichage et le stockage de l'information textuelle. En créant un portail entre Second Life et le LMS Moodle, il est plus facile pour les utilisateurs de communiquer entre Moodle et Second Life. Les informations entre les deux systèmes sont partagées dans la mesure du possible.

2) Un portail communautaire

JSLplus prend un peu la même approche que celle du projet Sloodle. Sloodle utilise le LMS Moodle, qui est essentiellement un outil d'éducateur pour les étudiants et les enseignants. JSLplus utilise le CMS Joomla, qui est davantage un système glogal de gestion communautaire. Les deux systèmes sont destinés à rendre la communication entre Second Life et le web plus facile.

JSLplus ne fournira pas d'outils pédagogiques, mais il fournit un portail entre Second Life et Joomla. Il tente de combiner la force de Second Life (présence virtuelle), et de la force de Joomla (excellent outil de gestion de communauté).

Fonctionnalités

Les principaux éléments qui jouent un rôle sont:

• Avatars
• Visiteurs
• Eléments (les objets, les scripts, les textures, les sons, les gestes, etc. ...)
• Profils
• Terminaux
• Événements
• Lieux

Parce que cette information peut être transféré à l'aide de HTTP-requests et de XMLRPC-calls, il est possible de transfeérer rapidement des informations spécifiques à un avatar. L'utilisateur attaché à l'avatar peut également utiliser le système Web avec beaucoup plus de facilité, car l'avatar, et l'utilisateur sont synchronisés. Le noyau fonctionnel est l'authentification et l'enregistrement. Principalement les utilisateurs veulent connaitre les informations suivantes:

• Qui êtes-vous?
• Qui sont-ils?

Le profil est le principal élément que l'utilisateur utilise pour s'exprimer. Un utilisateur peut maintenir un profil étendu avec un composant Joomla. Les utilisateurs peuvent communiquer entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'un système PM , lequel est lié au profil. La communication publique passe par une shoutbox, qui est lié à un groupe. S'il n'y a qu'un seul groupe, il devrait y avoir une possibilité de ne pas montrer la liste de groupe, mais d'avoir l'utilisation de ce groupe vue par défaut. Outre la fourniture d'outils de communication linguistique, jSLplus va offrir un Système de Distribution d'Objet avancé (ODS). Les objets de Second Life pourront être ajoutés à jSLplus, et être partagé entre les groupes et les utilisateurs. Pour plus d'informations sur l' ODS, consultez les pages techniques.

La philosophie qui sous-tend JSLPlus est qu'une communication avancée peut être fournie à la fois sur le Web, et dans une communauté de Second Life. Les utilisateurs devront de toute façon se sentir à l'aise pour pouvoir basculer entre le système Web et le système basé sur Second Life. Chaque communauté (définie comme un "groupe" dans SL) a un besoin commun de connaître les événements, les lieux, les groupes et les personnes (les avatars / les utilisateurs). Cela revient à cette information:

• Que se passe-t-il?
• Quand cela se passera-t-il?
• Qui sera là?
• Où cela va-t-il se passer?
• Comment faire pour s'y rendre?

Les événements et les groupes sont des entités distinctes, mais la plupart des événements se déroulent au sein d'un groupe ou d'une communauté. Donc, quand un utilisateur se retirera d'un groupe, il devrait y avoir là une liste d'événements basée sur le groupe. Afin de modérer les groupes, il doit y avoir un role-system. Depuis que les groupes dans SL sont pratiquement non scriptable, jSLplus utilise son propre role-system. L'administrateur du groupe est l'utilisateur qui a créé ce groupe. Le site administrateur peut choisir si les utilisateurs seront autorisés à créer leurs propres groupes. Cela peut se faire essentiellement par la définition de deux modes différents, soit:

• Un mode portail . Centré sur chacun des membres, partageant des informations dans Second Life.
• Un mode communauté. Centré sur un sujet ou un groupe existant.

Par souci de simplicité, jSLplus va d'abord essayer de mettre en oeuvre un mode portail. Afin de fournir dans l'avenir un mode communauté, il faudrait une structure de données propres qui ne vienne pas bloquer cette fonctionnalité à l'avenir. Les données stockées devraient toujours être lié à un terminal, donc qu' un élément sache où cela est stocké, un groupe qui connaisse les terminaux qui sont les leurs (oui, le groupe devrait être en mesure d'envoyer un terminal sur un site existant, dans un souci de mode portail ), et un visiteur peut être suivi jusqu'à la région où se situe le terminal. Le terminal joue un rôle clé (key-role) dans la localisation, car il envoie toutes ces données dans l'en-tête d'une http-request.

Now “examples of integrated care systems from abroad” by Simeon Shwartz, Westchester Heinrich Schulte, Endokrinologikum @ The Second Health Auditorium

England’s National Health Service (NHS) is under review: The ‘Our NHS our future’ review.
The NHS is England’s publicly-funded healthcare system, providing the vast majority of healthcare in the UK, which is based on clinical need and not the ability to pay.
The Review provides an opportunity to ensure that the future of the NHS is clinically led and can meet the challenges of delivering healthcare over the next decade.

As a key component of the Review, on the 21st of November there will be an International Clinical Summit on pathways to care, where 1500 invited clinicians and physicians will be meeting in real life in London.
But you can follow the meeting in Second Life or via the webcast.
In Second Life you will be able to register your own opinions and meet and chat with the speakers.

This SL event will mainly be of interest to healthcare professionals, both within the UK and internationally.
Our Second Health Auditorium can accommodate up to 50 avatars. If there is sufficient demand we will open a second auditorium, and you can always follow the Summit’s live webcast outside SL if we are over-subscribed. Text chat will be logged, and we may record video and audio portions of the in-world event for later playback.

This presentation has begun at ISTE Auditorium with the RL unveiling of an innovative SL emergency/nursing education simulator (NESIM) at CIT in Nashville.

Live patient simulations were created and role played while RN student teams use the NESIM simulator to apply critical thinking skills and interventions.

[ RN (REGISTERED NURSE) : a nurse who has graduated from a formal program of nursing education (diploma school, associate degree or baccalaureate program) and is licensed by the appropriate state authority. ]

Cela se passait dans le cadre de la Conférence sur les Technologies de l’ Information, à Nashville, Tennessee, à l’ hôtel Renaissance, 15h15 CST, ce lundi 12 novembre 2007.

Sur Second Life, cela se passait à l’ auditorium de l’ ISTE, au même moment soit à partir de 1:15 PM SLT, 22h15 heure française.

Cette présentation commençait par quelques diapositives à l’auditorium de l’ ISTE alors qu’ était dévoilé au même moment IRL à Nashville le nouveau SIMulateur d’ enseignement de soins Infirmiers et d’Urgences, le NESIM : un défibrillateur, associant un moniteur avec un HUD pour le suivi.

Les choses se sont concrétisées avec des simulations de cas de patients qui ont ensuite été réalisées et jouées sur un autre site ( rendu accessible spécialement à cette occasion ).

Au cours de ces interventions, le rôle principal du patient était joué par un infirmier diplômé. Pendant ce temps, les équipes d’ élèves infirmiers utilisaient le simulateur NESIM afin d’ exercer leur esprit critique et d’ user de leurs compétences.

Il s’agissait d’une présentation sur plusieurs sites donc et la présentation s’est terminée où elle avait commencé : à l’auditorium de l’ISTE.

Instructional designers and faculty in any educational program will benefit from this presentation. Included in this presentation is the unveiling of an innovative emergency/nursing education simulator (NESIM). Live patient simulations will be created and role played while RN student teams use the NESIM simulator to apply critical thinking skills and interventions. 1. Learn about SL 2. Learn how to use SL for education 3. Learn how to use simulators for interactive education 4. Learn how to develop basic simulation strategies and incorporate them into existing courses 5. Learn how to train in medical fields

Me voilà avec une Joomla! 1.5 RC2 encore en anglais chez Free.
Ce site ne va servir qu'à des tests : donc merci de ne pas vous y intéresser et de perdre votre temps avec. ;)

L'installation n'a pas été une fois encore sans mal.

je connais la bęte car j'ai commencé il y a plus de 2 ans avec Mambo. Joomla! 1.0 , j'avais tout de suite adhéré.

Ce coup-ci c'est une 1.5 pour pouvoir tester les évolutions en lien avec Second Life.

Revenons à l'installation.

FTP OK. La base de donnée se nomme dannel_ariantho car l'adresse comporte un point.

Faut pas passer à côté de ce premier "détail".

Ensuite, j'ai ramé sur l'installation proprement dite. Impossible de se connecter à la base ....

J'ai donc chargé "à la main" en copié /collé les instructions SQL. Puis, en remplissant et renommant le fichier configuration.php ŕ la racine et supprimé le répertoire installation, j'ai eu mon Joomla! en ligne, fonctionnel. Sauf, le back-end inaccessible ! :( Car pas de compte admin défini.

Retour case départ.

La solution était dans htaccess, en l'activant, il faut insérer l'instruction "php 1".

Pour l'instant j'ai désactivé la réécriture des URL ... par prudence.

Bref .... ça tourne et c'est parti !!!
