TJU/Dept of Occupational Therapy colleague Amanda Parezo-Lyons will be featured as a guest on the Dr. Phil show today at 3 pm. She'll discuss her unique and impactful lived experience as someone shot by a young adult with an illegal and unsecured weapon. Please consider tuning in

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Agree completely. Education in VR would be able to advance considerably iff @FBRealityLabs and others did this. Long overdue, in my opinion.

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

@valibrarian @CVL_inSL Joined, looking forward to seeing where this goes and how it develops.

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Thought provoking discussion #VWBPE20, "Virtual Reality in Education: Intentional Immersion" led by @valibrarian. Key points included distinctions between #virtual reality and virtual worlds. Take home msg: Educators must keep up with developments for/ evaluate best use for both.

@EducatorsVR @JeffersonUniv @theAREAorg @AltspaceVR @danieldbryant @JeffersonCFDNL @EdTechMedic @mariegraham @IndyCABVII @JeffAcCommons Great discussion at the session, thanks to all who participated! Lots of things to think about and exciting possibilities for the future

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Impressive presentation @daviddejong90 at @EducatorsVR today, https://t.co/lCucKmAW54 Its focus on the power of immersive meaningful experiences along with key issues of ethics, safety, access and caregiver engagement packed a powerful message. Kudos!

Looking forward to an amazing conference on Education in VR starting today and to presenting about social VR for interprofessional education on Thursday. Full schedule at: https://t.co/T2YrIudH58

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Totally agree @EdTechMedic - moving this to mobile VR will be key to larger scale adoption and practical use in IPE @JeffCIPE @vrmedicalsim

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Very exciting, can’t wait! Now about that Call for proposals, hmm—perhaps something related to IPE?

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Great intro to #unity3d at @AltspaceVR this afternoon. Looking forward to learning a lot more from the CSinVR meetups!

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Thank you, Oksana Khazarova! Your passion and commitment to serving homeless populations is inspiring. Your collaboration in the ESHP virtual world training program is a unique contribution, which in its earliest stages was co-developed by @PathtoHousingPA #IndyCABVII

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

@Carol_Perryman @jcipe @IndyCABVII Learning curve is still an issue for some. We address this by focusing on specific skills required for the simulations & ensure that their computers meet min. requirements. SL is much more stable now, main issue is inconsistency of SL voice, which we address by using Zoom with SL

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

So interesting to hear about Lee et. al's work creating and evaluating an #IPE training program in #SecondLife. @JCIPE uses this venue for our interprofessional student training to work with homeless populations and those with dementia/their caregivers (we'll present @IndyCABVII)

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

An inspiring glimpse into (what I hope will be) our not-too-distant future in U.S. facilities caring for these populations.

Check out my article about using #VRforgood. I wrote this piece just before #OC6.

How #education and #learning in #VR works in a regular elder care company. https://t.co/bX51cYg7aM

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Great points. Completely agree that "Innovative social VR platforms will still be able to survive, if they can offer something that Facebook Horizon cannot." Along with avatar realism, building techniques shown in the demo look much like Second Life's early days with prim builds.

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

@EducatorsVR @JeffCIPE @oculus Agree--Head of Enterprise, AR/VR Maria Fernandez Guajardo's keynote evokes ideas about ways that current developments in Oculus Business might have a parallel development in education with updates like hand tracking & more, https://t.co/SVAEdhir7Q, time 102:01-106:27
@marifes

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

Interesting Oculus Connect keynote, with an eye toward aspects of the future of VR that may be most useful for IPE. Michael Abrash's focus on virtual collaborative workspaces looks like a development process worth following, https://t.co/KJ4PZGp5qR @EducatorsVR @JeffCIPE @oculus

[Susan Toth-Cohen @TothCohen]

So pleased to see national recognition for @TJUHospital, as family members and I have benefited personally from care with these top specialty providers @RothmanOrtho @LeoKatzGastro and admired the work of Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center for many years

[Jefferson Health @TJUHospital]

The specialty care provided at Jefferson Health hospitals ranks among the best in the nation according to @usnews! We are proud to be nationally ranked in eight specialties: https://t.co/ZCiM5LfWmz.
