CLIENT MEETING

AGENDA

ABSENTEES - NIL

NOTES

• The client is looking for something clinical scenario in Second Life
• Will it be descision based
• trama.org
• this website has clinical senarios. In these scenarios you make multiple steps (decisions) before the system gives feedback (3-4 steps)
• This senario based system does not neccesarily need to have popups (on screen)
• It could be set up to have both incremental feedback as well as end of senario feedback
• Suggestions for the project
  
• Keep it small to start (a small prototype)
  
• Research examples of similar scenarios already implemented in Second Life to show to the client
• Will this scenario be open to anyone in Second Life?
• we will be able to make the area a closed area (so that only students may enter it)
• What's the Clients role?
• Clinical expertise
• Know what the students need to learn from this experience
• Quality Assurance and testing
• Educational expertise
• What will happen to the project after the team (Critical Life) have finished with it this year?
• We need to be made in such a way that it is easily maintained
  
• Charlynn has people in line ready to continue with any Second Life projects
• Second Life by its very nature is easy to manipulate with little experience
• Blake has written up paper based scenarios
• These should be very useful for us to see what is required in each of these scenarios
• Must also take into consideration Horsham Campus' needs
• Second Life is bandwidth intensive
• requires broadband - which the university has
• any students using Second Life will need an increase in their monthly internet download limit
• We must also as a team be careful to balance the detail of the scenarios we create against the loading times due to bandwidth
• In the future the potential with Second Life and University is huge
• You could make a fully functioning Hospital
• We must remember to keep the Head of the Nursing School in touch with this projects
• Keep them updated
• Our main client contact at the moment
• Blake Peck
• Will be aiming these scenarios at his unit
• A student representative from the school of nursing would be useful
• When making the presentation at the end of the semester make sure all stakeholders are invited
• Including the Head of the School of Nursing
• Also there are Sesional staff in the School of Nursing that would be helpful
• They have lots of clinical expertise
• Would be useful in the testing stage
• Supervisor - Charlynn Miller
• Will step back in involvement
• Will continue to keep us on track
• Prototype (by the end of semester)
• Pilot for the project
• A small scenario to see what we can acheive with this project
• We can all make Wednesday Morning 9.30AM as a possible client meeting time each week
• We wont be meeting each week, however if we are meeting this will be the time that suits all parties (team, client, supervisors)
• When setting up a meeting see Kay Lewis to book a room for any future client meeting
• We need to set up a time with all client members, team members and supervisors second week of the easter break
• During this time we will show researched scenarios from second life
• To help the client see what can be done
• Solidify the team's expectations on what we can do
• Invite Lenette

• Contact Blake with room and what he needs to bring
  
• Don't mention the flying...

• We can probably force them to use pre set avatars that we make, that would be best
