- The study aimed to assess knowledge attainment, enjoyment, and engagement among third-year medical students through three different online teaching methods: clinical case vignettes, patient-testimony videos, and mixed reality (MR) using Microsoft HoloLens 2.

- The findings suggest that while MR is a feasible and effective teaching method, students preferred traditional case-based tutorials for their learning experience.
