| description | The digitizing of medical education has been winning more support in recent years. One of the options is the implementation of Augmented Reality to complement or replace conventional methods in medical training and to create a more efficient learning environment for medical students and prospective staff in healthcare. In this work a Digital Tutor in Augmented Reality in medical training is evaluated with the aim of finding out whether it offers an additional value compared to conventional learning and teaching methods. Therefore, an application for medical training was arranged and a user survey with (n = 24) students from the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of ANONYMIZED was carried out. The utilized application had two versions. One version included the Digital Tutor, who verbally delivered the instructions, and the other version included a text box with written instructions. The students evaluated these two applications through a questionnaire. Further, to validate this work an expert interview was conducted with a person in charge of designing concepts for the digitizing of education for the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of ANONYMIZED. Through the survey and interview it was concluded that the Digital Tutor has an additional value compared to the text box. In the future the interactivity of the Digital Tutor with the students should be improved and a larger study should be done to further validate this outcome. |
