To better understand how the University of
Newcastle can take advantage of these next generation digital
simulation technologies the DVC-A Darrell Evans is pleased to announce
the Simulation Technology Evaluation Pilot (STEP) Program.
This
University wide program is a key initiative of the NEW Education
Framework seeking to evaluate the development and implementation of
simulation technology into the curriculum.
