“…Although clinical decision-making training has gained importance in the last years, there is still a need for further integration of relevant concepts (e.g., VP) into curricula in human medicine teaching (47). Especially regarding VP, the same can be assumed for veterinary medical education (48).…”

To provide students of veterinary medicine with the necessary day 1 competences, e-learning offerings are increasingly used in addition to classical teaching formats such as lectures. For example, virtual patients offer the possibility of case-based, computer-assisted learning. A concept to teach and test clinical decision-making is the key feature (KF) approach. KF questions consist of three to five critical points that are crucial for the case resolution. In the current study usage, learning success, usability and acceptance of KF cases as neurological virtual patients should be determined in comparison to the long cases format. Elective courses were offered in winter term 2019/20 and summer term 2020 and a total of 38 virtual patients with neurological diseases were presented in the KF format. Eight cases were provided with a new clinical decision-making application (Clinical Reasoning Tool) and contrasted with eight other cases without the tool. In addition to the evaluation of the learning analytics (e.g., processing times, success rates), an evaluation took place after course completion. After 229 course participations (168 individual students and additional 61 with repeated participation), 199 evaluation sheets were completed. The average processing time of a long case was 53 min, while that of a KF case 17 min. 78% of the long cases and 73% of KF cases were successfully completed. The average processing time of cases with Clinical Reasoning Tool was 19 min. The success rate was 58.3 vs. 60.3% for cases without the tool. In the survey, the long cases received a ranking (1 = very good, 6 = poor) of 2.4, while KF cases received a grade of 1.6, 134 of the respondents confirmed that the casework made them feel better prepared to secure a diagnosis in a real patient. Flexibility in learning (n = 93) and practical relevance (n = 65) were the most frequently listed positive aspects. Since KF cases are short and highlight only the most important features of a patient, 30% (n = 70) of respondents expressed the desire for more specialist information. KF cases are suitable for presenting a wide range of diseases and for training students' clinical decision-making skills. The Clinical Reasoning Tool can be used for better structuring and visualizing the reasoning process.

The paper demonstrates an application developed to help to evaluate ergonomics of a workplace. Ergonomics of a workplace has enormous impact on employees and their longterm work effectiveness, which causes an interest in this field from employers' point of view. The paper describes and compares several attitudes companies use to set up and evaluate workplace metrics, potential of virtual reality (VR) in the process, VR application proposal, implementation within Unity 3D engine and results achieved with implementation of this proposed solution. Current approaches also include motion tracking for ergonomics evaluation. These technologies are often far over smaller companies' budget. Described solution is reasonably priced also for small companies, using cheaper motion capture equipment.

Mechatronics belongs to the modern fields of the science and technology. Modern mechatronics combines mechanics, electronics, automation and informatics. However, young people often understand mechatronics as a combination of mechanics and electronics. This erroneous paradigm brings many problems in education and industry. Actual trend in the industry is Industry 4.0-also called as fourth industrial revolution. It is a collective name for current automation, exchanging of data and manufacturing technologies. Today's industry (digital factories) is full of information and communication technologies such as Internet of Things, virtual / mixed reality, cloud computing, etc. Unfortunately, only small amount of high school pupils would like to study mechatronics because young generation is influenced by the outdated perception of this field and does not perceive some of its new aspects. They do not see modern technologies in this field. The authors of the paper decided to present mechatronics as a modern branch in an original way-by a fanfilm inspired by Avengers: Infinity War.
