Despite growing interest in the inclusion of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, its full potential for immersive and interactive training remains underutilized, particularly in dermatology. As part of a multidisciplinary project, we tested the feasibility of integrating a VR training scenario for a complete skin cancer screening into the…

The key research objective is to explore the key functions of virtual reality technology used by educators to improve motor and imagery training in athletes. The sample was 160 students from Shandong Sport University. The main tools used by the scholars were the Athlete Introductory Movement Screen (AIMS) and The Sport Imagery Ability…

Virtual reality (VR) technology is an advanced modern resource commonly integrated into various forms of training. VR training simulations are customizable in that quality-grading parameter settings, physical environment, and user capacity can be modified to personal or professional preference. In this study, VR technology training practices are…

This study investigated the affordances and constraints of a VR-based learning environment for the teaching training of university graduate teaching assistants in relation to the task, goal-based scenarios, and learning support design. Seventeen graduate teaching assistants participated in a multiple-case study with an OpenSimulator-supported,…

This study examined participatory simulation-based learning of teaching in a virtual reality (VR) supported learning environment and its affordance for alternative perspectives taking. This VR-supported, embodiment-integrated learning environment is designed to enable collaborative and contextualized microteaching practicing by university teaching…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of augmented reality (AR) technology on the achievements, self-efficacy beliefs and views of paramedic students in electrocardiography education. In the study, mixed methods including quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The sample of the study included a total of 71 first-year…

Despite the growth in the use of serious games to train and evaluate cross-cultural competence, few studies have examined the content and dialogue development methods associated with these training systems. This study presents a framework for generating content for serious games targeting culturally appropriate communication and an evaluation of a…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of one consultation course on the development of pre-service school psychologists' consultation knowledge, confidence, and skills. Computer-simulation was used as a means to replicate the school environment and capture consultants' engagement throughout the consultation process without…

Medical students acquire and enhance their clinical skills using various available techniques and resources. As the health care profession has move towards team-based practice, students and trainees need to practice team-based procedures that involve timely management of clinical tasks and adequate communication with other members of the team.…

The use of workflow or simulated training has been used in the training of medical students for several decades. As technology emerged, training using simulation has grown as an effective way of enhancing training outcomes and increasing the clinical effectiveness of medical students. As a result of a heightened focus on the integration of…

3D projection plays a key training role in industry, especially for high-skills jobs such as airline pilots, astronauts, and a variety of positions in the military. By utilizing 3D simulators, organizations in these sectors conduct safe and effective training that would otherwise cost millions of dollars--or be impossible. Given the pressure on…

Teaching office applications such as word processing, spreadsheet and presentation skills has been widely debated regarding its necessity, extent and delivery method. Training and Assessment applications such as MyITLab, SAM, etc. are popular tools for training students and are particularly useful in measuring Assurance of Learning (AOL)…

Carefully engineered playable games can serve as vehicles for students and practitioners to learn and explore the programming of advanced computer architectures to execute applications, such as high performance computing (HPC) and complex, inter-networked, distributed systems. The article presents families of playable games that are grounded in…

Training in process control environments requires operators to be prepared for temporal and adaptive transfer of skill. Three training methods were compared with regard to their effectiveness in supporting transfer: Drill & Practice (D&P), Error Training (ET), and procedure-based and error heuristics training (PHT). Communication…

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference between an exergame-based and a traditional balance training program, in undergraduate Physical Education students. Thirty two third-year undergraduate students at the Democritus University of Thrace were randomly divided into two training program groups of 16 students each,…
