Abstract

Twenty-four practical nursing and health careers students were introduced by random assignment to the four treatments. Specifically, the study compared the learning effects on an instrument connection procedure used in a medical setting of four different learning treatments: text-only instruction, image-only instruction, desktop virtual reality (DVR) with assistive technologies (ATs) (i.e., audio combined with closed caption) instruction, and hands-on demonstration instruction. This study used descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and qualitative comments and observation to discover important design and implementation challenges for DVR.
