Development of immersive learning framework (ILF) in achieving the goals of higher education: measuring the impact using a pre-post design.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Emerging technological tools like Artificial Intelligence-based Chatbots, digital educational alternatives and market-driven educational systems pose a challenge to the fundamental aim of the higher education system; comprehensive education for well-being. Therefore, this research aims to devise and evaluate strategies to impart new-age competencies to innovate socially and morally appropriate solutions in a modern competitive innovative society. The 8-month-long immersive learning framework (ILF), was designed based on the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) paradigm. The framework was evaluated with 133 newly joined postgraduate students doing their science or arts programmes from a higher education institution in Kerala, India. The outcome variables included well-being, depressive symptoms, personality patterns, and sub-domains of philosophy of human nature. The follow-up scores showed a significant improvement in well-being (Mean difference: 1.15, p = 0.005), trustworthiness (Mean difference: 14.74, p = 0.000), strength of will (Mean difference: 10.11, p = 0.000), altruism (Mean difference: 12.85, p = 0.000), and independence (Mean difference: 11.93, p = 0.000). Depression scores did not improve significantly. However, the intervention shielded them from the adjustment issues that often accompany any transition. The ILF framework can help students develop their personal and professional selves if it is implemented collaboratively in a reflective setting. It can also instil moral rectitude and a prosocial mindset.
