Project TOUCH (Telehealth Outreach for Unified Community Health) is a collaborative effort between University of New Mexico and University of Hawaii. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of using advanced technologies to overcome geographical barriers to delivery of medical education and to enhance the learning process within a group setting. This has led to the design and implementation of a new system that addresses the critical requirements for collaborative virtual environments: consistency, networking, scalability, and system integration. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the collaborative system based on use patterns during Project TOUCH sessions.
TOUCH项目（统一社区健康远程医疗外展）是新墨西哥大学和夏威夷大学的合作项目。该项目的目的是证明使用先进技术克服医学教育交付中的地理障碍以及在小组环境中增强学习过程的可行性。这导致了一个新系统的设计和实施，该系统满足了协作虚拟环境的关键要求：一致性、网络、可扩展性和系统集成。本研究的目的是根据TOUCH项目会议期间的使用模式评估协作系统的性能。
