Background: PPE training is essential to prevent transmission of infections or autoinoculation of infections among healthcare providers and patients. Student nurses play a vital role in infection control practices to protect themselves and patients from transmittable infections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an innovative teaching and…

The use of technology to provide social work services is becoming more common, and the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in telehealth services throughout the United States. Telehealth can provide a variety of benefits and challenges that social workers must be prepared to address. While social work programs are using technology in a…

An interprofessional pulmonary standardized patient simulation case was used for medical and social work students to work together using motivational interviewing. Following the case, 68 medical students and 20 social work students responded to open-ended questions eliciting reflection on the encounter. Using thematic text analysis, results…

Virtual experiments offer opportunities for students to engage in the scientific process and observe scientific phenomena. However, virtual experiments are not always effective for learning. The current study examined how two small manipulations might support better learning from virtual experiments and the extent to which this varied across…

Online conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams have been widely adopted as substitutes for physical classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This dramatic change is accompanied by many challenges for educators to keep their students engaged online and promote live interactions to mimic a real classroom environment. While progress has…

Herein, two simulated electrochemistry experiments, namely, the (i) electrochemical series, using an electronic half-cell module, and (ii) citrus fruit battery series are demonstrated for undergraduate chemistry students. The demonstration can be performed for in-person and remote students by connecting the electronic half-cell module to a…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to explore how recent nursing graduates understand and describe their online clinical experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine perceptions of the impact on their preparedness for transitioning into professional practice. The problem addressed was the closure of clinical sites to…

This action research study aimed to integrate simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) into the undergraduate clinical laboratory science (CLS) program curriculum. The undergraduate CLS curriculum was comprised of didactic coursework and hands-on learning experiences in the student laboratory. This traditional CLS curriculum model…

Commonly used methods to simulate the oxidation-reduction (redox) titration curves include the three-step method and the rigorous method. The simple three-step method simulates the redox titration curve with the assumption that the reaction is complete, which is widely used in undergraduate quantitative analysis courses. For the rigorous…

The use of virtual reality (VR) in social work (SW) and pre-service teacher education has become a promising tool for skills development for students. A review of existing scholarship was conducted to provide an overview of the current landscape of VR in SW and pre-service teacher education. This analysis focused on the use of VR in fields that…

Composite scores are an exceptionally important psychometric tool for behavioral science research applications. A prototypical example occurs with self-report data, where researchers routinely use questionnaires with multiple items that tap into different features of a target construct. Item-level missing data are endemic to composite score…

This study investigates how learners collaboratively construct embodied geometry knowledge in shared VR environments. Three groups of in-service teachers collaboratively explored six geometric conjectures with various virtual objects (geometric shapes) under the guidance of a facilitator. Although all the teachers were in different physical…

The Outlook of emerging Technologies in Education underscored the role and implications of cutting-edge technologies, tools, innovations and trends in transforming educational systems globally. This paper, edited by Joshua Vidal, MSSc, MAEd, LPT, PhD (student), attempts to contribute to academic leaders and researchers, examines the integration of…

Augmented reality (AR) stands as a widely embraced technology that significantly enhances learning experiences for students. AR offers an instructional approach supported by technological design, thereby fostering enriched learning interactions. This research proposes an interactive AR framework, intended to create an augmented reality learning…
