“…The gathered information can be used in the future stages of development for optimizing and enriching the student learning experience [82,83]. Other studies that employed VR teaching applications in similar science subjects also supported the findings from our previous work [42][43][44][45][46]83].…”

“…Based on the above observations related to the current learning and teaching issues in chemistry and medicinal chemistry, the following studies were identified as being the most indicative for the utilization of VR/AR technologies in the particular educational fields. Table 1 presents an overview of the papers that present significant progression of 3D, VR, and AR applications from 2007 to 2021, and their main contributions [42][43][44][45][46]. The table also presents the user sample and the main subject of each study.…”

“…Evidently, this issue has been previously highlighted in multiple studies, in which the majority of users were unable to create a mental 3D model from 2D images [13,61,62]. This issue appeared to be a major deterrent for various activities in which the users struggled to visualize proposed 2D architectural blueprints or 2D web images [45,46]. In the particular complex environment of medical chemistry structures, this issue is amplified exponentially.…”

Multidisciplinary topics in education pose a major challenge for traditional learning and teaching methods. Such topics can deter students from selecting particular courses or hinder their study progress. This study focused on the subject of medicinal chemistry, which is a discipline combining medicine and chemistry. This combination of applied and basic science creates a complex field of education that is challenging to both teach and learn. Chemical and pharmacological principles are typically presented in 2D molecular structures and, recently, 3D molecular models have been utilized to improve the visualization of chemical compounds and their chemical interactions. Contemporary studies have presented Virtual Reality (VR) as an alternative method for improving the learning and teaching of multidisciplinary specialties such as this. However, current educational efforts employing VR offer limited interactivity and a traditional teaching method previously presented in 2D. This reduces students’ interest and concentration in the taught subjects. This paper presents the development rationale of a novel VR educational application based on the evaluation of the user requirements by 405 pharmacy undergraduate students. The results informed the development and preliminary evaluation of a proposed VR serious game application, which was deployed in a real-life class environment and evaluated in contrast to traditional teaching methods by 15 students. The derived results confirmed the advantages of VR technology as a learning and teaching tool, in addition to the end-users’ willingness to adopt VR systems as a learning aid.

“…Comparing the results with the works of other researchers [4][5][6][7][8], it can be concluded that they can supplement and deepen them. Then, the development of test objects will take into account not only the level of respondents' knowledge, but also the system of factors influencing the experimental results.…”

The work is devoted to the study of factors influencing the reproduction of augmented reality elements. The object of the study is technologically significant parameters of the influence on the process of reproduction of AR elements when pointing a phone or tablet camera at a special marker image. The main problem of the study is the lack of information regarding the technological process of creating AR products and a large number of parameters that should be taken into account when choosing a particular technological operation, since changes in these factors greatly affect the correct reproduction of AR elements and further use of such products. The study determined that in recent years, research has shifted from the field of science to printing and entertainment. This is due to the capabilities of the technology, namely wow effect, content expression, ease of creation, etc., development of digital technologies and competition with digital products. Also, a low level of research was revealed in the area of products with unstable usage conditions such as clothing, packaging, etc. This can be explained by the development of printing technologies and opportunities in this area only recently, the increase in the popularity of such products only in recent years and, as a result, insufficient knowledge in this area. However, such products are much more popular in the market, which is emphasized by a significant drop in the production of books, magazines, etc. The results of studying the significance of factors in the marker reproduction processes made it possible to identify the most significant ones (marker parameters, material characteristics, usage conditions, etc.). A systematic and integrated approach to the influence factors of this study allows the development of methods for normalizing the process of creating AR products with unstable usage conditions, which makes it possible to produce workable and reliable products in any conditions.

Simulation, an educational, assessment, and research technique used to mimic real‐world situations, is increasingly used in pharmacy education. The most‐used simulation methods include high‐fidelity simulation (HFS), low‐fidelity simulation (LFS), standardized patients, and game‐based simulation. A common element of simulation is its ability to offer learners the chance to practice a skill or acquire knowledge in a safe and accessible space. Simulation methods differ in key aspects, including cost and other resource investment as well as ideal venue for use in education. HFS provides a more realistic simulation environment than LFS but is typically more expensive. Standardized patients offer learners the opportunity to engage with a live person but may elicit greater variability in responses to learners' input than HFS. Computer‐based simulation uses technology to supply a wide variety of learning opportunities; however, it may require the use of proprietary software and devices. Despite widespread use, literature describing learning outcomes of simulation in pharmacy education is limited. Some existing reports with positive findings have focused on learner satisfaction with or perceived benefit of simulation activities. The few existing publications summarizing changes in skills or knowledge demonstrate a positive impact. Simulation is a promising modality for educating pharmacy students and residents; however, more data summarizing the benefit of learning outcomes are needed.
