Birbara, Nicolette S.; Sammut, Claude; Pather, Nalini – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Technologies such as virtual reality are used in higher education to develop virtual learning resources (VLRs). These VLRs can be delivered in multiple modalities, from truly immersive involving wearable devices to less immersive modalities such as desktop. However, research investigating perceptions of VLRs in anatomy has mainly focused on a…
