Effectiveness of Augmented Reality in Anatomy Education: The TEACHANATOMY Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Augmented reality group and Traditional learning group for Augmented Reality and Anatomy Education. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of augmented reality (AR) in anatomy teaching. The main question to answer is: Is 3-Dimensional AR technology more effective than traditional learning methods in anatomy education? In this clinical trial undergraduate medical students with no prior anatomy education will be recruited. Participants in the AR group will learn the anatomy of the cranial nerves with an AR application using Microsoft HoloLens 2, whereas participants in the control group will learn with traditional learning methods (textbooks, atlases, videos, and online learning programs).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
* Study presentation: participants will be given a 10-minute general introduction on the study followed by a 20 minutes tutorial to introduce the HoloLens 2 and the TEACHANATOMY learning platform. * Study session: The study session consists of three learning blocks of approximately 20 minutes each, plus a repetition block to assess the acquired knowledge. During the study session participants will be given no time constraints and free breaks. * Assessment test: Participants will be assessed with a 30 minutes knowledge assessment test. * Final questionnaire: At the end participants will be given a questionnaire to assess adverse health symptoms and user experience.
* Study presentation: participants will be given a 10-minute general introduction on the study followed by a presentation to introduce the study session. * Study session: The study session consists of the learning resources most used by students: specific sections from four different neuroanatomy books, access to two websites, two 3D videos, and two online learning programs. During the study session participants will be given no time constraints and free breaks. * Assessment test: Participants will be assessed with a 30 minutes knowledge assessment test. * Final questionnaire: At the end participants will be given a questionnaire to assess adverse health symptoms and user experience.
