Summary

The main aim of this study is to compare the learning outcomes of machine guided VR based training for adult advanced life support with educator guided training in metaverse environment.

Detailed description

Online education stands as one of the metaverse's potential application areas. The metaverse's ability to offer shared social connections differs it from existing online educational platforms such as Simulation, AR, and VR, which primarily focus on presenting virtual content and environments without fostering communal interaction. This facilitates interaction between learners and educators during metaverse-based training sessions allowing educators to guide the learners and provide feedback. The educators' presence fosters communication and collaboration during training sessions, thereby enhancing learners' motivation and engagement. In our university, a VR-based multiplayer training module within the metaverse environment specifically designed for ALS (Adult Advanced Life Support) training has been developed. This module serves as an additional training tool to simulation-based training, enabling learners to receive guidance either from machine algorithms or educators within the metaverse. The objective of this study is to reveal the benefits of educator presence in the metaverse during VR-based training sessions.

Conditions

• Advanced Cardiac Life Support
• Virtual Reality
• Serious Game

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	VR Based Training with Machine Guidance (MG Group)	The members of both groups will undertake a VR based basic training for ALS. Afterwards MG group were trained with VR based Advanced Training Module, which provides training with full machine guidance. The knowledge level will then be evaluated by the exam mode of the VR based training module
OTHER	VR Based Training with Educator Guidance in Metaverse (EG Group)	The members of both groupswill undertake a VR based basic training for ALS. Afterwards EG group will attend at VR based Educator guided training in metaverse. The knowledge level will then be evaluated by the exam mode of the VR based training module
