questions (Q), and 3% believed this activity did notimprove any skills. These results indicate a significant growth throughout the implementationof the VR activity, as 97% of the students demonstrate and improvement in their skills. Figure 10. Students’ Perception of Improvement of Skills, N=60Furthermore, 82% of students indicated they would continue to train their presentation skillsthrough the VR Simulations beyond this pilot study. Thus, offering alternative innovativelearning techniques is, in fact, an effective way to develop and nurture students’communication skills.Finally, the students’ feedback about the VR Presentation Simulation Training sessions wereobtained. Based on qualitative analysis, 88% of the students provided
