PIVOTE

Just came across the PREVIEW Immersive Virtual Training Environment (PIVOTE) project (just launched 10th March 2009) via E-Learning At Teeside twitter feed (http://twitter.com/elearningatees).

PIVOTE is a system for delivering interactive training in virtual works and comes out of the work done on the Medbiquitous Virtual Patient (http://www.medbiq.org/working_groups/vi ... index.html).

PIVOTE create & manage the structure and content for an interactive exercise and then create (using virtual technologies such as Second Life or OpenSim) 3D scenes for the exercise to take place in.

How could this be interesting to SIMPLE? Well SIMPLE is really good for the "office" side of things, the paperwork as it were, relating to a role (asking for information, correspondence etc). What it doesn't do at all is provide any mechanism for interactive, situational activities, such as visiting an place of an accident and identifying important "facts" from that scene.

It's not a hard leap of imagination to see how PIVOTE and SIMPLE could actually compliment each other, each dealing with one specific side of the overall simulation for a "professional".
