Lacey, Gerard; Gozdzielewska, Lucyna; McAloney-Kocaman, Kareena; Ruttle, Jonathan; Cronin, Sean; Price, Lesley – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Hand hygiene is critical for infection control, but studies report poor transfer from training to practice. Hand hygiene training in hospitals typically involves one classroom session per year, but psychomotor skills require repetition and feedback for retention. We describe the design and independent evaluation of a mobile interactive augmented…

Sdravopoulou, Konstantina; Castillo, Juan Jesús Gutiérrez; González, Juan Manuel Muñoz – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
There is a significant body of research in "naturalistic designs" of augmented reality (AR), concerning different fields (medicine, education, arts etc). Although naturalistic approaches have the potential to enable new forms of experiencing and experimenting with AR technologies, it remains unclear how they can impact participants'…

Nerea López-Bouzas; M. Esther del Moral-Pérez; Jonathan Castañeda-Fernández – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Active methodologies such as gamification, combined with emerging technologies like augmented reality, are enhancing learning environments that facilitate the development of essential competencies. Particularly, students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require reinforcement of their Communicative Competence (CC) to activate their abilities to…

Sellberg, Charlott – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
Simulators are used to practice in a safe setting before training in a safety-critical environment. Since the nature of situations encountered in high-risk domains is complex and dynamic, it is considered important for the simulation to resemble conditions of real world tasks. For this reason, simulation-based training is often discussed in terms…
