Su, Wen-Song; Chang, Ching-Yi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study uses bibliometrics and social network analysis methods to investigate the characteristics of the most cited research papers in the Web of Science (WoS) database in virtual patient (VP) studies in interactive learning environments. We identify the most cited studies from the WoS database and then visualize and analyze the research data…

Stathakarou, Natalia; Scully, Marcel Leon; Kononowicz, Andrzej A.; Henningsohn, Lars; Zary, Nabil; McGrath, Cormac – Education Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are an increasingly popular form of education in health professional education. VPs have been introduced in MOOCs to increase interactivity. There is a lack of research in understanding the reasons behind high dropout rates in MOOCs. We explored how learners interact with VPs and compared the…

Orton, Eric; Mulhausen, Paul – Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, 2008
Computer-based virtual patients (VPs) are an emerging medium for medical education that addresses barriers faced by geriatrics educators. Research has shown VPs to be as effective in changing knowledge and behavior as more traditional forms of teaching. This paper presents a descriptive study of the development of the University of Iowa's…
