• Blended Learning Compared to Traditional Learning in Medical Education: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2020, result): “Our observations also supplement the evidence in previous reviews [94,95] which included studies since 2010.”
• Virtual Patient Simulations in Health Professions Education: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by the Digital Health Education Collaboration (2019, unknown): “Extending the results of the meta-analysis by Cook et al [38] and in agreement with the one by Consorti et al [39], our review shows that virtual patients have an overall positive pooled effect when compared with some other types of traditional educational methods.”
• Mastery Learning for Health Professionals Using Technology-Enhanced Simulation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2013, result): “The studies in this review shared the common theme of mastery learning with SBME, but as has been found in other meta-analytic syntheses of education research, 9,16,49 between-study variability (inconsistency) was large in most analyses.”
• Comparative effectiveness of instructional design features in simulation-based education: Systematic review and meta-analysis (2013, background): “Because they have been the subject of recent reviews, we excluded studies in which the only simulation activities involved computer-based virtual patients (Cook & Triola 2009; Cook et al. 2010a) and human patient actors (standardized patients) (Bokken et al. 2008; May et al. 2009).”
