“…operating theatres, dental simulation suites and simulation ambulances. In addition, virtual reality simulation "re-creates real life scenarios" in "a virtual clinical environment" (Duff et al, 2016) and can simulate a specific healthcare setting (e.g. a hospital) or enable users to interact in a virtual world, such as Second Life (Liaw et al, 2018).…”

“…Healthcare educators need to consider several factors when preparing to utilise technology: the first language of their learners and the availability of appropriate resources (Bala Krishnian et al, 2016;Duff et al, 2016); the learners' computer skills (Duff et al, 2016); the availability of technical support and how the various technologies can be integrated into the institution's virtual learning environment (Masters et al, 2016).…”

“…The financial cost of purchasing and maintaining the various technologies, and providing the appropriate training and technical support to both the educators and learners, can be a potential challenge for institutions. For example, the literature highlighted the financial costs associated with classroom response systems (De Gagne, 2011), online virtual simulation (Duff et al, 2016), interprofessional simulation-based education (Murdoch et al, 2014;Gough et al, 2015) and mobile technologies (Guo et al, 2015). In addition, the sustainability of e-learning programmes can be a concern for some institutions (Reeves et al, 2018); the appropriate e-learning tools/platforms must be available and capable which requires "investment in their technology and services infrastructure" (Lee et al, 2011).…”

This paper presents a literature review into the use of technology in healthcare education. A search of three electronic databases resulted in 20 articles for inclusion in the review. The articles were synthesised into a narrative review. The review identified four key themes across the literature: the types of technologies used in healthcare education; the integration of technology into the healthcare curriculum; the skills and knowledge of the healthcare educators; and the benefits of using technology for the learners. The literature demonstrated that a wide range of technologies are now used within healthcare education, and this requires educators to adapt their practice and develop their technical skills to be competent users. The successful integration of technology into healthcare curriculums can be beneficial for healthcare learners by developing their clinical and professional skills, and enhancing their learning experience.

“…Simulody, kullanıcının teorik ve klinik altyapı bilgisine sahip olduğu varsayımı üzerine kurgulanmıştır. Simülatörün asıl amacı, Odyoloji öğrencilerinin sahip oldukları bilgi, beceri ve deneyimlerini kullanarak tanısal muhakeme yeteneklerini (Duff, Miller & Bruce, 2016) sınayabilecekleri bir ortam sağlamaktır. Teorik bilginin ve süreçte mesleki becerilerin sınanması, kullanıcıların Simulody'nin eğitimleri için faydalı bir simülasyon programı olarak değerlendirilmesi ile sonuçlanmıştır.…”

This study aims to develop a computer-based-simulation (Simulody) which presents case scenarios to enhance undergraduate audiology students' diagnostic reasoning skills. Simulody has been developed by obtaining expert opinion from four expert audiologists. The program consists of one case scenario which was computerized for the pilot study. The pilot implementation was conducted with ten senior students in the Audiology Department of Health Science Faculty at Başkent University. The participants evaluated the simulator via the Simulation User Evaluation Form. The user data was collected by recording time spent for each step and taking field-notes during the implementation as well as using the log-file-document. The Mann-Whitney-U test was used to determine the difference in completion time and time spent in each step among gender groups. No significant difference in timing was found between female and male users. Also, the groups with different computer-competency-skills did not differ in terms of time spent in each step. Moreover, the total-error-frequency was not found significantly different between male and female students. Generally, participants' response patterns (%80) showed a cyclical-trend centered upon some specific steps regarding recalling information presented in previous steps. It implies that some transitions do not work efficiently. However, participants evaluated the Simulody as a useful/practical educational tool that they can assess their theoretical and clinical skills. As a prototype, Simulody can be a useful educational tool by increasing the number of case scenarios and making necessary technical revisions.

“…Here, the virtual patients (VPs) were introduced as interactive electronic medical cases that offer advanced support for learning [1]. However, the primary aim of virtual patients is to simulate real patient care [2]. From the technical point of view, it represents an interactive computer based tool simulating medical practice [3,4].…”

Abstract-Problem based learning, utilizing simulations and virtual reality tools represents one of the approaches integrated into the education of medicine to prepare medical students for both the bedside teaching and their later clinical praxis. On the other side, implementation of innovative didactic materials may be useful also for veterinary medicine students. Thus, veterinary topics can be introduced and explained in the form of virtual cases, helping students to understand relationships between theory and practical application of their decisions. Simulations and virtual cases are also used to assess students' clinical reasoning skills. Therefore, our work is aimed on integration of modern simulation tools into education process at University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia. Inspired by our colleagues from Faculty of Medicine in Košice and respecting our requirements we were able to specify appropriate methods and to introduce the first veterinary virtual patient to our students.
