Surveying and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Gain practical insights into land surveying and the application of GIS technology in civil engineering projects. Virtual scenarios let students operate surveying instruments like total stations, theodolites, and GPS receivers to collect precise data. Interactive tools allow for the creation of topographic maps, contour lines, and spatial data analysis using GIS software. Feedback focuses on improving surveying precision, interpreting data accurately, and mastering mapping techniques.

Operating Room and Surgical Nursing

The Operating Room and Surgical Nursing module provides nursing students with virtual experiences to develop critical skills for assisting in surgical settings. Through interactive simulations, students practice setting up surgical instruments, maintaining a sterile field, and supporting surgical procedures, ensuring safety, precision, and adherence to operating room protocols.

Chronic Disease Management and Patient Education

The Chronic Disease Management and Patient Education module equips nursing students with the skills to support patients in managing chronic conditions. Through virtual interactions and interactive lessons, students practice guiding patients on lifestyle adjustments, medication adherence, and monitoring techniques, while focusing on education strategies that promote self-care, symptom control, and early complication recognition.

Emergency Scenarios Simulation

Prepare users to respond effectively to surgical emergencies using XR technology to simulate high-pressure situations such as cardiac arrest, hemorrhage, or instrument malfunction. Students will receive guidance on assisting the surgical team by managing instruments, preparing blood transfusions, and adjusting equipment during critical events, with real-time feedback on decision-making and response times.

Infection Control and Isolation Protocols

The Infection Control and Isolation Protocols module provides nursing students with virtual experiences to master infection prevention and control measures. Through interactive simulations, students practice implementing isolation precautions, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and following hand hygiene protocols while learning essential procedures to prevent cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records. It is compatible with popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, Brightspace/D2L, and can also be used independently of an LMS.
