Professional learning needs in using video calls identified through workshops

BACKGROUND Most people want to die at home but only half do. Supporting patients in rural locations is challenging. Video calls such as Skype, might help but are not routinely used; we should consider learning needs to increase uptake and ensure effective use. We aimed to identify learning needs of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in using video calls to support patients (and their carers) to di...

Not only because the audiences will learn/remember more, but also because transforming what happens in undergraduate classrooms requires faculty assump...

Believable Visual Feedback in Motor Learning Using Occlusion-based Clipping in Video Mapping

Gait rehabilitation systems provide patients with guidance and feedback that assist them to better perform the rehabilitation tasks. Real-time feedback can guide users to correct their movements. Research has shown that the quality of feedback is crucial to enhance motor learning in physical rehabilitation. Common feedback systems based on virtual reality present interactive feedback in a monit...
