Brief Summary
This study compared two educational methods. Participants were assigned to participate in a 360-degree experience or a slideshow presentation. The 360-degree video group included a brain and MS program. The comparison group was given a slideshow presentation with the same information. Participants viewed the 360-degree program or the slideshow presentation only once. The online-based materials consisted of a demographic form (age, gender, race and ethnicity, and name of school), knowledge questionnaires, and an experiential learning scale. Pre-intervention, participants were asked about demographic information, whether they had previous experience with MS, the science classes they completed in high school and college, and their knowledge of the human brain and MS pathophysiology. At both pre- and post-intervention, participants completed the Multiple Sclerosis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Knowledge Questionnaire (MSMRIKQ) and the Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge Questionnaire (MSKQ). At post-intervention, participants completed a lesson experiential questionnaire about their experience viewing either the 360-degree video or the slideshow presentation. Permission to use the three instruments was obtained from their respective copyright holders.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Learning effectiveness of immersive 360-degree video versus a slideshow presentation
The learning effectiveness was evaluated by two instruments. Outcomes assessed using the MS Knowledge Questionnaire(MSKQ), the MS Magnetic Resonance Imaging Knowledge Questionnaire(MSMRIKQ). The MSMRIKQ is a 20-item questionnaire16 that assesses knowledge about MS and MRI. Face validity was established on all MSMRIKQ items.24 The Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) reliability estimate for the entire scale was 0.58. The split-half reliability with Spearman-Brown correction for the total scale was 0.60. The MSKQ measures basic knowledge of various MS information domains for both clinical and research uses. The Flesch-Kincaid English reading level is 4.8, indicating low reading difficulty. In creating the MSKQ, Giordano et al. (2009) found that the internal consistency was satisfactory (KR-20 = 0.76), and item-total correlations were above 0.30 for 80% of the items.
The outcomes assessed immediately after viewing the educational 360 degrees video or the PowerPoint slideshow presentation.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
The emotional experience
The emotional experience was completed immediately after the intervention.
Study Arms (2)
Intervention group - 360-degree educational video
EXPERIMENTALThe 360-degree video group included a brain and MS program. The immersive activity 360-degree group, included a virtual brain and MS program displayed on an interactive computer screen interface. The 360-degree video allowed learners to manipulate the viewing angle of the video to look around the environment. A 360-degree video on the brain and the pathophysiology of MS displayed on an e-learning platform enabled the students to self-learn through a procedure simulation with real time feedback.
The slideshow presentation group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe slideshow presentation group viewed 12 slides about the brain and MS with content identical to the content of the 360-degree program. The educational content consisted of lessons on how the brain and MS interact and interrelate via neurological network.
