We describe the development and validation of virtual human (VH) vignettes, computer-generated scenarios with animated patients and clinical information, for a mixed-methods study regarding nurses' assessment and intervention choices for critically ill children's pain. We followed the case development and review process for high-fidelity simulation case scenarios, including the use of validated written vignettes and content experts. Forty nurses described their pain assessment and intervention choices for the newly derived VH vignettes and completed a pain questionnaire.…

Each collaborator brings his or her past experience to the collaboration, and the virtual environment can tailor itself to give users a representation appropriate for their background. Because the shared virtual world is maintained by a computer, the computer can “remember” all the interactions in that world, providing opportunities for asynchronous as well as synchronous collaboration. Keywords: asynchronous collaboration; audio and video; avatars; CAVE; heterogeneous views; user datagram protocol
