Towards a typology of virtual patients
Medical Teacher, 08/24/09

Huwendiek S et al. – Nineteen factors were synthesized around four categories: general (title, description, language, identifier, provenance, and typical study time); educational (educational level, educational modes, coverage, and objectives); instructional design (path type, user modality, media use, narrative use, interactivity use, and feedback use); technical (originating system, format, integration, and dependence). This empirically derived VP design typology provides a common reference point for all those wishing to report on or study VPs.
