The use of virtual reality in nursing education has been tested and reported in the literature (Schmidt & Stewart, 2009; Schmidt & Stewart, 2010; Stewart, Pope & Duncan, 2009; Stewart et al, 2010; Sweigart, 2010). These reports are summarized in Chapter 8 in Distance Education in Nursing (3rd edition). If you want to see a few demonstrations of virtual reality that be used by educators, go to https://techntuit.pbworks.com/w/page/20307614/Avatars%20In%20Education.
What content would you develop to increase clinical reasoning of nursing students? Could you develop a realistic virtual clinical experience where case studies unfold based on student actions? Please share ideas that you have and look for collaborators among readers of the book.
