This is a great idea of replacing discussion boards with Facebook. Through creating a course Facebook page, educators may be able to increase student to student interaction compared to traditional discussion posts. #DistEd534

@Kathlee28553534 Audio feedback seems like a great way for the educator to connect with the learner in an efficient way during asynchronous courses. The educator's communication style influences the effectiveness of this method. #DistEd534

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

@asurachel1 I love podcasts/audiobooks for their ability to spread knowledge while the learner is multitasking (driving, going for a walk). Responses to polls about #distancelearning motivation shows time management is most important, so this method warrants educator investment. #DistEd534

Enrollment and completion of an online CE course created by nursing librarians was analyzed, revealing barriers between learner and system, lack of learner-instructor interaction, limited investment or perception of support.

#DistanceLearning eliminates physical and logistical barriers to access. Technology and web literacy are important skills as distance education fills in the gaps and/or becomes the preferred option for further (higher) education. #DistEd534

@MegsRNC I look forward to watching (and being a #nurseeducator during) the trends in nursing educational preparedness from vocational programs to ADN and BSN degree-based programs, and further academic progression in the distant future. #DistEd534

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

Call for policy changes: eliminate bar to admission for higher learning for students whose first nursing degree is from an unaccredited institution.

Faculty & students perceive greater academic dishonesty in #onlinecourses than traditional classes, especially in those who have never taken/taught #distancelearning. Interventions focus on shifting perceptions.

Learning Management Systems can provide real-time metrics for online courses, predicting quality and student success. Educators transform #distancelearning into a "digital experience"

Web writing in #distancelearning in today's prolific "content culture." In edu, communication should be thoughtful, carefully crafted, w/benefits of sharability, efficiency.

Google Groups improves ease, quality of interactions in collaborative work. Learning still needs structure, guidance from educators. https://t.co/03MYKUjlTB

@JordanKarlovich Friday night was at work, but Saturday night, I'm joining this party! :)

@PSodaitis I am 31 and I found Twitter and VoiceThread challenging in this course! I tend to be comfortable with tech but the influx of information in new formats creates overwhelm for me. I'm a fairly adapted adult :) but learning new systems takes up lots of space on my already-full plate

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

@SandraWilliard Good job thinking ahead! I learned so much about being an online student from this course. I wish I took it earlier!

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

@SandraWilliard I value how a tech giant like Google is making an impact on education. As great as the internet is with ads, business, and social media, the company doesn't overlook academics. Google for Education is the embodiment of accessibility and technology in #distancelearning

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

@JordanKarlovich I could see this being used even in asynchronous lectures. The student can see how they are doing compared to others who previously viewed the lecture and responded to the poll. Not real-time interaction, but an adaptation for #distancelearning
#DistEd534

[Andrea Kors @AndreaKors]

Does #distancelearning minimize barriers for male student nurses, or other student groups who feel "different"? By removing focus from gender or exterior qualities, each student's voice, work, thoughts, and contributions represent them. #DistEd534

[Hopkins Nursing @JHUNursing]

I first encountered a man in nursing as a @PeaceCorps volunteer in Belize. I asked him, "why didn't you want to be a doctor?"

He said, "Because I wanted to be a nurse." #PeaceCorpsWeek #MenInNursing #HopGlobalHealth https://t.co/nH2ogZqvAa

@nursemolly85 My hospital system has an app for expectant mothers and new parents. There is adequate buy-in, and I appreciate the accessibility & multimedia edu. methods, but research is needed to see how this specific app improves outcomes. #DistEd534
