Virtual and augmented reality text environments support self-directed multimodal reading
Virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are two of the fastest-growing technologies anticipated to peak this decade, with a gap in research to understand the new multimodal affordances for teachers to support students’ self-directed interactive reading. This research aimed to understand early adolescents’ experiences of reading multimodal texts containing written and spoken language and 3D imagery in VR and AR text environments. The …
Doing justice when incorporating sustainability into pre‐medical curricula
There are increasing calls from students, universities and accrediting bodies to embed Planetary Health (including sustainability) in health professions education. With limited formal guidance, academics have been trialling different approaches. Crammed health professions programmes make it difficult to undertake curriculum changes. Major changes also require curriculum committee approval, which can take months, even years. As a stop-gap measure …
The CRAFTS learning framework
Tertiary institutions are migrating away from didactic and teacher-centred approaches, and instead, pivoting to lesson designs that encourage hands-on learning and student engagement. However, this practice is often "try and see", with few frameworks providing evidence-based approaches for practical application that demonstrates how learning can be successfully achieved. The literature supports foundational concepts that can be applied to develop…
Pupils' inclusion as a process of narrative interactions
The study highlighted how the ADHD training materials analysed, focusing on a purely informational and clinical approach, lose in effectiveness with respect to generating inclusive school settings. Finally, to promote the inclusion of these pupils, elements are offered for outlining an approach based on fostering active participation by all roles involved
Investigating AVHs narratives through text analysis
The study's findings underscore the importance of addressing the narrative structures within community discourses. By intervening in these narratives, there is potential to shift towards a less stigmatizing social construction of AVHs. Thus, the article concludes using the results to provide some insights on how to generate these interventions. This approach could significantly impact how communities understand and interact with individuals exper…
Embedding planetary health concepts in a pre-medical physiology subject
PURPOSE: There are increasing calls for planetary health (which includes sustainable healthcare) to be included in tertiary health professions education. With already busy curricula, particularly in medicine, educators need to find innovative ways of integrating these important concepts without adding to learners' workload. This study investigated whether planetary health concepts could be integrated into a Physiology subject as a stop-gap approa…
Medical students as advocates for a healthy planet and healthy people
PURPOSE: Health professionals are being called on to be advocates for the planet to ensure health and well-being for current and future generations. Clean air, flourishing ecosystems, a stable climate, and nutritious food are required for health and well-being. Considering the deteriorating state of our natural environment, today's health professionals need to be advocates for a healthy planet. This places an onus on tertiary institutions to prep…
An authentic learner-centered planetary health assignment
A Code Red has been declared for the planet and human health. Climate change (e.g., increasing temperatures, adverse weather events, rising sea levels) threatens the planet's already declining ecosystems. Without urgent action, all of Earth's inhabitants face an existential threat. Health professions education should therefore prepare learners to not only practice in a changing world, but authentic educational activities should also develop compe…
Improving serious games by crowdsourcing feedback from the STEAM online gaming community
Engaging high schools for the co‐creation of hands‐on teaching resources for medical programmes
Most medical school physiology and anatomy laboratories house a substantial number of hands-on teaching resources, including silicon-based models, cadaveric tissues and pathological specimens. However, these are limited by solely depicting a single healthy or diseased state with no ability to show variations. This leaves tertiary educators limited in their capability to offer ‘hands-on’ examples of important disorder presentations. In recent year…
Smartphone‐based augmented reality physiology and anatomy laboratories
With a developing focus towards the online provision of education, it has become increasingly challenging to run regular face-to-face laboratories within medical and health science programmes. In disciplines such as physiology and anatomy, silicone models are often used to exhibit the essential features of organs and their three-dimensional (3-D) interrelationships with nearby structures. This is core to the learning required, as these concepts a…
What do stroke survivors want in stroke education and information provision in Australia
Despite evidence that stroke education is important and effective, low rates of stroke education are reported worldwide. Many stroke survivors and carers report that current stroke information does not meet their needs. The aim of the current study was to explore the perceptions of stroke survivors and carers towards stroke education in an Australian health context. A qualitative descriptive approach using focus groups was used to explore educati…
HoloLens and mobile augmented reality in medical and health science education
Due to increasing demands in the amount of content to be learned within a medical and health sciences curriculum, there are benefits towards exploring options for new and effective delivery modes. Augmented reality technology has the potential to enhance learning in physiology and anatomy, where students require a three‐dimensional knowledge of human organ systems and structures. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of learning when an id…
Enhancing variety through gamified, interactive learning experiences
With this issue we conclude the print publication of responses received to our call for Medical Education Adaptations: Lessons learned from educators' experiences rapidly transforming practice on account of COVID‐19 related disruption
Developing future medical educators in an Australian medical program
Engaging in scholarly activities such the ESME Course and developing learning resources not only provided MD students with a more in-depth theoretical knowledge in a range of clinical areas, but also developed skills that would prepare them for their future roles as medical educators. As supervisors, we identified the value these projects add to the broader health community as well as personal and professional benefits for ourselves
Virtualisation devices for student learning
Consumer-grade virtual reality has recently become available for both desktop and mobile platforms and may redefine the way that students learn. However, the decision regarding which device to utilise within a curriculum is unclear. Desktop-based VR has considerably higher setup costs involved, whereas mobile-based VR cannot produce the quality of environment due to its limited processing power. This study aimed to compare performance in an anato…
