Summary: Virtual reality skill learning has seen substantial development in nursing education, with students experiencing convenience in practice, quick learning processes, stress-free environments, and eco-friendly aspects. However, adaptation to new learning methods is required, and future applications should focus on supporting students as self-learning tools rather than replacing traditional teaching methods.

Summary: As VR technologies are increasingly adopted in education, careful evaluation of instructional modes is needed. This study evaluates two modes: direct interaction and observation of others learning with VR. Results show that direct VR interaction leads to more intense emotional engagement, but no significant difference in knowledge gains. Each mode has specific instructional affordances, and further exploration of the cognitive and emotional components of learning with VR is needed.

Summary: This study compared the educational outcomes of three groups of nursing students learning the endotracheal suctioning skill with either VR simulation or video training. The video training group performed better in skill demonstration, while one of the VR groups had higher learner satisfaction. Students showed high technology acceptance for both VR groups, with the simpler VR simulation being more popular. In conclusion, VR can be used as a complementary resource to skills labs, but may not be ideal for practical psychomotor skills training at the moment.

Summary: Sailing has gained popularity among children and adolescents in China, resulting in a need for high-quality sail education. Virtual reality (VR) technology is proposed to enhance sail education through immersive experience, interactive learning, and well-controlled practice. Research shows successful transfer from virtual to real situations, resulting in improved skill performance and tactical behaviors. Additionally, VR-based coding programs allow students to design virtual environments, promoting comprehension and application of knowledge. VR technology not only enriches educational resources but also attracts students with different study interests and backgrounds.

Summary: The study investigated the validity evidence for a competency-based test for basic robotic surgical skills using the Versius trainer. Relevant parameters for five exercises were identified, and a credible pass/fail level was defined. This is the first step in developing a proficiency-based training program for the Versius system.

Summary: This study aims to assess the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in nursing education. The results showed that, compared to traditional or alternative teaching methods, virtual reality technology has significant advantages in improving nursing students' theoretical knowledge, practical skills, skill retention, and satisfaction levels, while not yielding a significant advantage in enhancing critical thinking skills.
