Assessing the use of VR as a tool for teaching hypoxia in preclinical medical education: a mixed-methods study focusing on student experience and learning

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Medical students' perceived usefulness of virtual reality (VR) in hypoxia physiology is strongly linked to the clarity of learning objectives and their alignment to the module content. Other key factors that contribute to positive attitudes toward VR include its novelty, fun and excitement, and embodied cognition.
