Summary

This study compared metaverse-based learning to traditional face-to-face teaching for 80 first-year nursing students learning how to measure vital signs. The experimental group used a virtual platform with avatars, while the control group had standard classroom instruction. Researchers measured knowledge with a test and skills with an objective exam to see which method worked better.
