Group environment hindered time to practise • Student to MASK-ED™ character ratio meant not enough time to practise • Better when one-on-one • Too much down time when done in groups • More confident students would take control • Limit group numbers to four • Split up groups of friends • Felt that when not interacting with the MASK-ED™ character were not learning • Not everyone was able to practise with the MASK-ED™ character Timing of the MASK-ED™ character • Less helpful for new skill acquisition • More valuable at the beginning of the curriculum • Need to relate back to the evidence Realism • Frustrating as it can feel exaggerated • MASK-ED™ character learnt too quickly and therefore wasn’t realistic • Different MASK-ED™ characters for the different tutorials |
