Summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of IVR and game-based learning in Interprofessional education (IPE), with significant implications for IPE delivery.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Does IVR or game-based learning enhance students' interprofessional competencies and learning outcomes in IPE? Which modalities optimise the educational effectiveness for IPE implementation among healthcare students between IVR and game-based learning?

Researchers will compare the effectiveness of both IVR training and a mobile gaming platform and identify the optimal modality for IPE implementation.

Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups:

the IVR group that received a one-week IPE training with Immersive Virtual Reality (iHealthEd-IVR); the web-based group that received a one-week IPE training with a web-based serious game (V-Care).
