Education applications in Jibe?

[Bob A]

Hi all

Is anyone out there currently using Jibe/Unity to support and enhance learning at the college/university level?  I am especially interested in engineering and science applications, but other topics and themes are welcome.

Thanks

Bob

I'm doing Negotiation, Conflict Management, and Therapy simulations. Our prototypes were in JIbe. We're now using a Hybrid of Jibe and our own code.

We replaced Vivox with WebRTC via OpenTok. There are two modes one that is a drop in replacement for Vivox and the other is webRTC on it's own. With WebRTC on its own you can add video as well as voice.

We ran 3 simultaneous sessions with 20 people in each session. That's about the max without provisioning more resources.

If you've got any questions let me know.

Hello Bob:

We are using Jibe/Unity with excellent design support from John Lester and Robin Donnelly at Reaction Grid to create virtual worlds for nursing education.  As an engineering educator for many years (Vanderbilt and a founding faculty member at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering) I have a deep and abiding interest on how we could do similar things in engineering education (especially based around learning-by-doing).  Wonder if we should create a special interest group at Sloan-C for this purpose?
