Description
Mesut Ergan and co-authors run a three-way trial in 2026 on virtual world teaching for physiotherapy students. Ninety students were split among virtual world, live online, and face-to-face lessons on the same touch-skill theory. Eighty-three finished the study across the three arms. Motivation surveys and a fifteen-item quiz measured the results.
Motivation rose in every group after teaching. The virtual world group gained more on total motivation than the online group, and more on attention-linked parts than both rivals. Quiz scores also topped the other groups there. Immersive lessons may beat plain online ones for hands-on fields.
