Emotions of medical students in tele-simulation

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly impacted the landscape of clinical education for medical students. During the pandemic, tele-simulation training was introduced to avoid multiple students and facilitators gathering in confined spaces. While learners' perceived emotions have been recognized as an important outcome of the traditional in-person simulation training, the impact of tele-simulation on medical students' emotions has not been examined. Methods: We conducted an educational simulation study using a team-based (six to seven members per group) pediatric simulation scenario involving a case of septic shock. Seventeen and 24 medical students participated in the tele-simulation training and in-person simulation training, respectively. The institutional COVID-19 pandemic social restrictions at the time of each training session determined the participant assignment to either the tele-simulation training or in-person simulation training. All participants responded to the Japanese version of the Medical Emotion Scale, which is composed of 20 emotion items rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale before, during, and after the simulation training sessions. The measured emotions were categized into four emotion groups according to two dimensions: positive or negative and activating or deactivating emotions. Results: The results of one-way analysis of variance between the tele-simulation training and in-person simulation training revealed no significant differences in the emotions perceived by the participants before, during, and after the simulation training sessions (see Table 1). Conclusion: The perceived emotions of medical students were comparable between tele-simulation training and in-person simulation training. However, further research is needed to investigate the impact of tele-simulation training on student performance in the real world.

An Imaging system for teleteaching support using multi-view video shooted by basketball players

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of teleteaching using networks has been increasing in regular university classes. The authors have been studying on the improvement of athletic performance of college women's basketball as extracurricular activities using information processing from multi-image. In this paper, we propose the use of such a multi-visual system in basketball classes. In this experiment basketball athletes at the gymnasium gallery shooted play of other athletes on the court using smartphones. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this video is discussed in terms of regular university classes. One of the characteristics of this video information system, which was realized on the premise of the existing campus network, is that it is a highly feasible system that does not interfere with other lectures and the daily work of faculty members in the university. © 2021 IEEE.
