Building skills and improving teamwork are two goals of new technology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center

Students in Omaha and Scottsbluff can now collaborate in real-time using an iWall.

Associate Vice Chancellor Pamela Boyers says students who have tested it out are excited about the possibilities.

So far, nursing and dental hygiene students in Omaha and Scottsbluff have used the iWall to educate a mock patient on the connection between diabetes and periodontal disease.

Boyers says collaboration between the two sites improves the learning experience.

Boyers says the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and Kearney will get an iWall in the future.
