At the end of March, eTV returned to Bloodvein First Nation to record interviews, photograph the community, and finish capturing elements of the nursing station. eTV is currently immersed in the production and development of the interactive component of this Program Innovation Fund project. We greatly appreciate the support and participation of the Bloodvein community.

After thorough research and planning, the Red River College Nursing Virtual Community project has commenced production. This project is an exploratory and immersive on-line simulation, which provides nursing students the opportunity to interact and “walk through” a remote nursing station in the Aboriginal community of Bloodvein. Through the use of video, photography, text, and web-based resources, students will get to experience a unique nursing environment integrated with Aboriginal culture. eTV, in partnership with RRC’s Nursing Department and Health Canada, is excited for the launch of this innovative educational simulator, scheduled for September 2013.

In conjunction with the Nursing Department, eTV is producing a series of procedural clips on nursing techniques.  Our new mobile production unit (we’d appreciated name suggests) allows us to meet increasing demand for high quality, video based learning materials. The production unit consists of three HD cameras, a switcher, audio and lighting gear for anywhere – anytime production. In addition, the unit will allow us to stream live multi-camera events from anywhere in the building.
