Principles for designing, using and sharing reusable learning objects

This is particularly relevant as the creation of reusable learning objects (RLO) and immersive simulation scenarios is often undertaken by teachers themselves. 

According to official data from Google, about 70% of searches on YouTube refer to the terms “How to do”, which indicates the great demand for audiovisual resources that the population uses to learn to do things, that is, not to learn theory but to learn practicalities. (Google, 2015). 

Throughout the 360ViSi project, it is important to note, by emphasis, that everything considered is based upon a clear and sound pedagogical point of view.  

1. Pedagogical perspectives on 360° interactive video and related immersive XR-technologies

According to stakeholders like BlendMedia, interactive 360° ​​video technology is beginning to take on the same importance as the revolution of the arrival of video in education, with the difference that this technology also offers students an immersion and a sense of “presence” that enhance empathy and a deeper understanding of the content. 

According to various authors, including the well-known Benjamin Bloom (American educational psychologist renowned for the” taxonomy of educational objectives”), the fact that the student interprets, focuses, creates, interacts, and evaluates real situations, will make their learning much more meaningful and long-lasting. 

Grossman (Grossman et al., 2009) distinguished between three types of pedagogical practice teachers would use to take students to a supposed practical reality. On one hand, there is representation, through which the student is provided with analysis resources such as video, interviews, etc. On the other hand, decomposition, in which the teacher dissects and analyzes learning through discussion forums, debates etc. And finally, the pedagogical approach, which allows students to approach their future professional reality without necessarily being in it. (Ferdig and Kosko, 2020) 

That is why simulation plays an essential role in the learning of health science students (Kim et al., 2016) and the creation of 360° videos through which the student feels immersed in a real environment, not only will it reduce simulation costs but will help the student to abstract from the distracting elements and to focus on the learning objectives. 

Immersive environments, such as 360° videos, are extremely relevant in the technological explosion that we are experiencing, given that their potential to improve learning through training from multiple perspectives, situations and experiences has already been proven. 

Hallberg, Hirsto and Kaasinen (2020), stated that 360° technology can be used to facilitate learning related to the representation of spatial knowledge, participation, and context, both experimental and collaborative, which make this technology an effective tool for learning practical aspects digitally. The main difference between this technology and others is that 360° technology allows us to create recorded virtual environments so that students can immerse themselves in a situation or action that seems 100% real. 

To achieve optimal learning, it is essential that this technology meets the following characteristics: 

  •  That the user experience is satisfactory. That is to say, that it does not cause dizziness, that the recording quality is sufficient for the student to feel that they are “inside” the scene and that the interaction is as natural as possible. 
  •  That the virtual elements do not distort. Many times, overlapping texts or 2D words are configured on the spherical surface, which may cause distortions that distract the student. 

Balzareti (Balzaretti et al., 2019) states that promoting reflection among students through decision-making enhances learning effectiveness. 

According to Ferretti et al. there are 4 keys to the use of audio-visual media as a reflective method in learning: 

  1. Discover and describe 
  2.  Look for cause-effect links 
  3.  Exercise analytical thinking 
  4.  Identify possible alternatives 

It is, thus, important to bear in mind that what students value the most when it comes to keeping their attention on 360° videos, is not so much visual excellence or technological novelty, but rather that they value “enjoying” and “doing an interesting activity”, in fact, when compared to 2D video activities, these are the elements that stand out the most. (Snelson & Hsu, 2019). 

For this, it is important that the audiovisual signals (hotspots) are well designed to direct the attention of the users in virtual environments, since they are key for the effective immersion of the student and the feeling of spatial presence. The lack of such cues can lead to boredom, while overuse of such cues can stop students from focusing their attention by switching from one item to another for fear of missing something important, which would end up leading to frustration and stress. 

Regarding the pedagogical benefits of the use of this technology, although there are different studies on it, the one carried out in 2020 by Hyttinen and Hatakka stands out, since they wanted to take the use of 360° video in teaching to the next level, using it to perform live teaching sessions. The results, very positive on the part of the students, reflected some clear benefits, such as not needing physical materials (simulators, objects, actors etc.), which are not necessary for the students, the greater sense of presence in the student’s environment, the use of devices which are familiar to the student (smartphone), a fun learning for the student and a greater concentration on the task, since there are not distracting elements. 

In order to achieve these benefits, it is important to bear in mind that there will be a certain percentage of students who would need to bridge the digital divide in order to feel comfortable with the use of this technology. This can be achieved through training, not only for students, but also for teachers (Tan et al., 2020). 

As per the duration of the 360° content, although the scientific literature regarding the use of this technology is still not very abundant, a systematic review published in early 2021 by Hamilton, McKechnie, Edgerton and Wilson in the Journal of Computers in Education, shows how there are two types of lengths. On one hand, a duration that is set by the content creators, on the other hand, making the content last as long as the participant takes to complete the task, although the vast majority of studies opted for a short duration of the video (with an average duration of 13 min). 

2. A framework for the design of reusable learning objects, including learning objects of 360° media

The ASPIRE framework has been successfully applied over many years by the 360ViSi project partner HELM (Health E-Learning and Media Team) at the University of Nottingham to help scaffold the design and development of learning resources, including Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) and Open Educational Resource (OER) of any medium. 

There are many OER learning design frameworks available but the ASPIRE framework is particularly suited for the 360ViSi project and the design of 360° video based RLOs because it is flexible enough to involve a community of practice style of development. It has been employed on many health-related learning resource projects involving health care professionals, patients, carers, charities and other related health organisations. (Wharrad, 2021) 

Such stakeholder involvement helps to identify and align the requirements of focused learner groups, this in turn helps to shape resource content and the way it is represented. This ability to share stakeholder knowledge and expertise helps to assist the development of quality reusable learning objects, that can be shared initially by all project partners and eventually with the wider OER community. 

ASPIRE is an acronym for the all the steps of the framework involved in RLO creation:

  • Aims – helps to focus on getting the correct learning goal    
  • Storyboarding – allows the sharing of initial ideas and enables a community-based approach to resource design 
  • Population – combines storyboard ideas into a fully formed specification 
  • Implementation – a specification peer review is applied, and any concerns addressed before starting resource development  
  • Release – a second technical peer review is applied and approved before resource release  
  • Evaluation – for research and development purposes to assess the resources impact 

(Windle, 2014).

A number of bespoke tools have been developed to help support the implementation of the framework within any given project. One of them is a specification tool – where the content author/s can create a specification to support the ASPIRE frameworks population step and share with the rest of the project team. This allows for the greater inclusion during this important stage for all team members, who are able to review and discuss and suggest multimedia, as graphics and video content.

Once written, the specification can then be accessed as part of a content peer review stage by a subject expert not previously involved in the project. This allows for a review by a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ ensuring that all the necessary content is included, and that the specification is robust enough for development. (Taylor, Wharrad and Konstantinidis, 2022) The inclusivity that this tool provides supports and encourages a community of practice approach to any given project’s development. 

3. Sharing reusable learning objects 

An online repository is the best way for sharing RLOs across universities and other interested parties and is a digital library or archive which is accessible via the internet. An online repository should have conditions of deposit and access attached.  

There are some good examples of online repositories currently available where academics and learners can access, share and reuse content openly released under a creative commons licence.

They include: 

  • https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/helmopen/, which contains over 300 free to use healthcare resources  
  • https://acord.my/, allowing open access to resources developed by university staff and healthcare and biomedical science students in Malaysia which have been released as part of the ACoRD project.  
  • https://www.merlot.org/merlot/, which holds a collection of over 90,000 Open Education Resources and around 70,000 OER libraries. (Merlot, 2022). 

For sharing RLOs between different Learning Management Systems (LMS) an eLearning Standard should be used such as xAPI and cmi5. Cmi5 is a contemporary e-learning specification intended to take advantage of the Experience API as a communications protocol and data model while providing definition for necessary components for system interoperability such as packaging, launch, credential handshake, and consistent information model. (Rustici Software, 2021)

Specific needs for simulation tools in Health Education

There are different technologies that can facilitate digital learning for health sciences students in an immersive environment, such as virtual reality (VR), simulation or 360° video amongst others. These environments allow the student to interact with a virtual world through their immersion in a three-dimensional context with real experiences.

Immersive learning is used in various disciplines outside of Health sciences including engineering, mathematics, education, biology, neuroscience, psychology, computer science, communication, economics and business. It enables interaction in multidimensional environments and provides valuable tools to improve practice and theory in order to enhance and promote transformational learning. So, it is not only about technology but also about designing activities using the technology for students to learn in context, therefore increasing knowledge and improving skills and competencies.

Mapping out the landscape

One of the work packages in the 360Visi project sets out to find out how and where 360° video simulation advantageously can be used in Health education.

The main objective of the study is:

  • To identify specific proven areas in Health education where students will gain from 360° video simulation training.

In addition, the study has these specific objectives:

  • To analyse whether new technologies like 360° video are effective tools for student learning  
  • To identify needs for 360° video simulation training at the universities participating in the project

Please note that this is a short description of the study and its findings. We will publish the entire study at a later stage.

Methods

The following approaches were used in the study:

1.) Reviewing literature where simulation, 360° video, mobile phone applications, interactive video, telecare tools were used. The review included also 1b.) Information from the four universities participating in 360ViSi on their previous experience in the use of 360° video. Lastly 2.) A focus group of experts from each of the partner universities of the 360ViSi project, assessed the relevance, opportunity, effectiveness and feasibility of applying 360° technology in each of the areas of training in nursing education.

Literature review and previous experience

The evidence found from the literature review has shown that the use of new technologies in university teaching is already a reality that can benefit the learning of health sciences students. Specifically, the decrease in cost and the technological improvement on hardware in recent years have promoted the use of VR, AR or 360° video in this area of education.

The fact that students are able to have an experience before actual contact with a patient, either through real simulation or through virtual simulation, favours the consolidation of knowledge in a safer environment not only for the student but also the patient.

Of the four universities participating in the 360ViSi project, two of them have previous experiences with the use of 360° video technology in the teaching of health sciences students, and the other two universities had also developed technological solutions to improve the learning of their students.

Six areas for enhanced learning

The experts from the four participating universities each identified areas where use of 360° video would be relevant in health education and gave them scores to show which were most relevant.

  • Home care (Score 4)
  • Nursing care and procedures (Score 4)
  • Drug administration (Score 2)
  • Surgical care (preoperative, perioperative, postoperative) (Score 2)
  • Emergency and acute care (Score 3)
  • Ethics and communication (Score 2)

The score corresponds to how many of the universities have chosen that area as a priority for the application of 360° video technology. 

Within each of these areas, the experts found different items or competencies in which students could be trained using this technology and, also, enhance their learning. Each of them is detailed as follows:

Home Care

The experts highlighted the need to work on Home Care, particularly with the elderly, paying special attention to care related to injuries caused by falls. 

The possibility of working on correct decision-making in the patient’s home, especially in situations where there is palliative care involved in the home environment, was also underlined.

Another important aspect was the possibility of working on patient transfer (i.e. when transferring from/to their home and primary care or hospital facilities).

Nursing Care and Procedures

There is a mix of competencies that the experts have been emphasising, but they all have a point in common: the possibility for the student to acquire and incorporate practical skills and nursing care and procedures in a safe environment, through 360° technology, before their actual practice on real patients.

The need to enhance teamwork skills in nursing is emphasised, especially with the medical team during patient visits or ward rounds, which are necessary skills on all types of nursing care.

The importance of working on patient observation and clinical examinations of different kinds (assessment of the patient in pain, taking vital signs, knowledge of the clinical environment) has been highlighted by several universities. 

Different techniques in the care of pediatric and adult patients, such as cannulation or the care and prevention of ulcers or wounds, was also pointed out. 

Drug Administration

The experts emphasized the special benefit this technology could have for training in the work with drug administration – both for the administration of the medication, and also the organisation, drug preparation and drug round within the hospital environment.

360° technology can be a great tool for the student to effectively incorporate a systematic approach in their practice for the safe administration of medication. 

Surgical Care (preoperative, perioperative, postoperative care)

Even though it has only been pointed out by the experts from two of the universities, care related to the surgical environment lends itself very effectively to learning through 360° technology, as studies analysed in the first phase also have shown.

The experts highlighted the need to apply the 360° technology on training in pre-operative care, anesthesia nursing care, assisting the surgeon during the operation, patient preparation and nursing care in trauma surgery. 

Emergency and Acute Care

Three different areas have been identified within this item. Firstly, the need and importance of training on pre-hospital emergencies, given the property to rendering an image of the outdoors environment in 360° format enhances the teaching capacity in this area.

Secondly, hospital emergency/acute care, both in the emergency department and in the intensive care unit. Different needs were indicated in this field, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, care in patients with pulmonary oedema, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, etc. Thirdly, the expert group also sees possibilities for learning about the care of the ventilated patient, both on the use of ventilators and on techniques related to aspiration of secretions as an example.

Ethics and Communication

The experts from two universities pointed out the suitability of the 360° video technology in the area of Ethics and Communication. Specifically, the possibility of training on breaking bad news was highlighted, as well as the holistic assessment of the patient, evaluating their needs in full, taking into account patient beliefs, diversity and cultural aspects. Communication and correct decision-making can also be skills to be acquired effectively through the use of 360° video.

Reinforcing learning and training with minimal risk

360 video and other immersive technologies has unique features that allow the user to train at their discretion in a safe and non-intrusive environment.

It is clear that there is unanimous belief among the experts from the participating universities in the 360ViSi project that certain areas of learning can be reinforced by 360° video technology in order to help students consolidate high standards in nursing care and health education.

The methods that bring the student closer to their future professional role, and in which they can learn by repetition, and correct mistakes as many times as they need with minimal risk, should become increasingly important in the teaching-learning process. Beyond that, 360° video technology will in an academic university environment still require teaching and supervision in real time and in groups. This is also a context where the technology can be explored for new ways of learning – where the instructor can control what students look at, to make them aware of and reflect on certain details, ask them questions or correct common mistakes.

Please note that this is a short description of the study and its findings. We will publish the entire study at a later stage.
