In this episode, we explore how Virtual Patients (VPs) are transforming online medical education, especially in the context of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Hosts Zaynab and Yassin dive into a fascinating study that examines learner engagement with different VP designs—one offering a "choose-your-own-adventure" approach and another providing a more structured, linear experience. The results were surprising: learners engaged more and dropped out less in the more structured VP environments.
Join us as we unpack the reasons behind high dropout rates in MOOCs, the importance of designing learner-centered virtual patient experiences, and the potential of adaptive learning technologies to create personalized education paths. Whether you're an educator, student, or simply interested in the future of online learning, this episode offers valuable insights into making e-learning more effective and accessible.
