Midwives bring new life into the world, and these midwifery students at London's Middlesex University (learn) a new way to do this now. Sarah Chitongo is the educator in this high-tech classroom. Her students use goggles (equip) with augmented reality or AR, so trainee midwives can experience simulated birth. AR is a digital overlay atop something real. It actually allows you (engage) in that type of learning which is more visual than paper-based one.
The training helps prepare students for all the potential risks they might face during childbirth, including (handle) a situation that is very complex. Educators say students' exposure AR makes them more comfortable using it in the classroom. It's about giving the students the ability to engage with tools and things they have been used to and accustomed to, within a serious learning space, so that they get a better (understand) of it. Chitongo says it took her nearly a decade of midwifing before she (see) a breech delivery. She says with AR technology in the classroom, students can better manage happens in the real world and possibly even save a life.
