Abstract
Clinical simulation (sim) is a useful pedagogical approach that allows nursing students to rehearse behaviours and practice their clinical and decision-making skills. It is also an effective educational model to evaluate skills learning through varied real-life situational experiences, without placing clients or institutional resources at risk. Delivering compelling content in innovative ways is a challenge for educators. Virtual Reality (VR) has proven to be a medium for delivering immersive content. Well-designed VR content can assist nursing students in developing critical thinking and problem-based learning skills in an immersive environment. VR helps stimulate interest and impedes students from being passive observers. Recent studies have found that VR can be used as an adjunct to course texts and resources available online in nursing programs.
In this paper, we outline the different methods used in creating immersive clinical simulation experiences based on specific learning objectives and deploying them in a VR classroom. We present three case studies: Crazy classroom sim, Autism sim and Shortness of Breath Sim. Each of these VR sim classes have distinct learning objectives and hence require unique planning, video capture and deployment strategies. These immersive VR modules were produced in 3D-360 format and delivered to the students through the Oculus Go headsets. A total of 332 students participated in the VR classroom (15-25 students per session). Although detailed student and instructor feedback was obtained during these classroom sessions, they are beyond the scope of this paper.
