“…The inclusion of digital transformation will require a revision of the study program not only to identify in which areas and to what extent students and faculties might benefit from its contribution, but also to develop the digital skills expected among students and teachers. The pandemic experience has certainly contributed to strengthening and sometimes building a set of digital skills among teachers and tutors that will need to be maintained and further developed over time to accompany the digital transition [ 41 ], even with respect to simulation, traditionally offered in face-to-face laboratories, but which has also become virtual [ 42 – 44 ]. Also, in the case of team-based learning, nursing students report satisfaction and impact on clinical reasoning skills with the transition to virtual rather than face-to-face meetings [ 45 ].…”

Background During the CoronaVIrus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing education has been dramatically transformed and shaped according to the restrictions imposed by national rules. Restoring educational activities as delivered in the pre-pandemic era without making a critical evaluation of the transformations implemented, may sacrifice the extraordinary learning opportunity that this event has offered. The aim of this study was to identify a set of recommendations that can guide the Italian nursing education to move forward in the post-pandemic era. Methods A qualitative descriptive design was undertaken in 2022–2023 and reported here according to the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research guidelines. A network was established of nine Italian universities offering a bachelor’s degree in nursing for a total of 6135 students. A purposeful sample of 37 Faculty Members, 28 Clinical Nurse Educators and 65 Students/new graduates were involved. A data collection was conducted with a form including open-ended questions concerning which transformations in nursing education had been implemented during the pandemic, which of these should be maintained and valued, and what recommendations should address the transition of nursing education in the post-pandemic era. Results Nine main recommendations embodying 18 specific recommendations have emerged, all transversally influenced by the role of the digital transformation, as a complementary and strengthening strategy for face-to-face teaching. The findings also suggest the need to rethink clinical rotations and their supervision models, to refocus the clinical learning aims, to pay attention towards the student community and its social needs, and to define a pandemic educational plan to be ready for unexpected, but possible, future events. Conclusions A multidimensional set of recommendations emerged, shaping a strategic map of action, where the main message is the need to rethink the whole nursing education, where digitalization is embodied. Preparing and moving nursing education forward by following the emerged recommendations may promote common standards of education and create the basis on for how to deal with future pandemic/catastrophic events by making ready and prepared the educational systems.

“…This survey also revealed that teachers who are more familiar with VR technology try to use it more often (Khukalenko et al, 2022). In another study, nursing graduates were asked about their impressions of VR materials in learning to make clinical decisions in emergency situations (Mäkinen et al, 2023). However, only a few studies have investigated the potential use of AR educational materials with nursing faculty members, who are the people who introduced AR educational materials.…”

AimWe developed an augmented reality technology‐based endotracheal aspiration simulation tool (the AR tool) consisting of three modes: a mode for nursing students to learn endotracheal aspiration by themselves (learning mode); a mode for repeated practice (practice mode); and a mode for confirmation testing (test mode). This study aimed to compare the learning outcomes of the AR tool with traditional training mannequins and identify potential uses and improvements of the AR tool.MethodsWe invited students, and faculty members from the three universities who agreed to cooperate in conducting this study. Fifty‐four students and nine faculty members agreed to participate in this study. The students were divided into two groups. One group was to study with the AR tool and the other group was to study with the traditional half‐body training mannequin for suction. The students in both groups were asked to demonstrate endotracheal aspiration on another full‐body type training mannequin which could be used as a patient with a tracheostomy (Skill test). Group interviews with faculty members focused on the topic of the AR tool's potential use in nursing education and improvement needed.ResultsThere was little significant difference in the skill test results of endotracheal aspiration of students in both groups. The students and faculty members both expressed an interest in the AR tool. They said it was suitable for self‐study of endotracheal aspiration.ConclusionsThis AR tool is an effective teaching tool for learning the sequence of endotracheal suctioning, although there are some areas that need improvement.

“…In the context of the design of videogames, UX is considered to be one of the most important aspects affecting the engagement of users because the level of engagement is somehow linked to the different forms in which the interface elements are designed [67]. In the educational context, Mäkinen et al ( [68], p. 3211) pointed out that that "UXs affect users' motivation and engagement, which may be the most important elements of learning experiences".…”

Virtual reality (VR) environments provide a high level of immersion that expands the possibilities for perspective-taking so that people can be in the shoes of others. In that regard, VR storytelling environments are good for situating people in a real migration story. Previous research has investigated how users engage in narrative VR experiences. However, there is a lack of research on the predictors of engagement in VR storytelling environments. To fill this gap in the literature, this study aims to identify the predictors of engagement when VR is used as a medium to tell a migration story. A structural model based on hypotheses was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with data from the interaction of 212 university students with a tailor-made VR experience developed in Unity to engage people in two migration stories. The results show that our model explains 55.2% of the variance in engagement because of the positive influence of immersion, presence, agency, usability, and user experience (UX).
