Liu, Yingjie; Butzlaff, Alice – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Background: Virtual reality can be a useful substitute to improve nursing education outside of the hospital setting. In the wake of COVID-19, an opportunity to compare a virtual reality activity for nursing students in the traditional classroom and in an online environment took place. Objectives: The goal of this study was to examine the effects…

Lakhal, Sawsen; Mukamurera, Joséphine; Bédard, Marie-Eve; Heilporn, Géraldine; Chauret, Mélodie – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Blended synchronous learning (BSL) represents several contexts that enable to bring remote students into the classroom, in real time, by the means of videoconferencing, web conferencing and virtual world. As BSL seems to be more and more implemented in many higher education institutions, especially in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic,…
