Teamwork is an important skill for nursing students to acquire. Healthcare teams are now working together not only in-person but also online. Group projects aren’t often well received by students. What are some suggestions for instructors employing a team-based learning concept?

Socratic probing is used to assess if learners can apply their new knowledge using critical thinking skills. This has traditionally been done in the classroom and clinical settings, but would also be useful in the virtual classroom. What other techniques are you using? #DistEd534

Flexible learning is student-centered. A great example of this is the influx of students using mobile devices for learning. What is your favorite learning apps for graduate students? #DistEd534

@Jacquel53951250 @NLN VR is a great tool especially for times when going to live simulations isn’t possible.

@Jacquel53951250 @nori_zapata Very interesting! I had never heard of these strategies before, but plan to try them out!

@bestestteach Good point Lyn! Online learning is a great tool but it’s not the best option for all learners. I do think we are making vast improvements, however, in an effort to do what’s best during this pandemic.

It’s vital that online educators use multiple teaching strategies to accommodate students’ differing learning styles. Apps can aid educators in the endeavor. One app I’ve found useful is @GetKahoot Friendly competition between students can aid all learners.

Educators are familiar with the expectations of them in a traditional classroom setting. However, the online classroom has variables they may have to navigate. It’s vital that faculty have clear instruction as to what is expected of them in the online classroom. #DistEd534

@SWilson86726320 Thanks for sharing Sue! Many conventions for nursing were moved to an online setting due to Covid-19. The only problem I saw were some still had very high costs to get access. #DistEd534

@Valerie91333867 Valerie, thanks for sharing this article! It is paramount that no matter the classroom setting, we as educators need to consider and accommodate our students differing learning styles. #DistEd534

@AnneSco44100176 I think it can help with cheating and with keeping students focused, but I do feel it puts limits on students who are virtual learners due to time constraints. Unless this could be offered 24/7, it would not be accommodating for all online learners. #DistEd534

@Stephan28516732 Stephanie, this was a great article! It is so important that we remember to accommodate all types of learners in the online classroom, just as we would in a traditional online setting. #DistEd534

@KBN5341 This looks like a great webinar! It is so important that we as educators remember that we must accommodate all types of learners in the online classroom just as we do in traditional classroom settings. Thanks for sharing! #DistEd534

@BeeneYelros40 Karen, agreed! Many educators have had to pivot to virtual classrooms with little training or time to prepare. It will get better the more time and practice we have! #DistEd534

Distance learning is not a new concept. However, it is becoming ever more prevalent to accommodate the many hurdles we face with the Covid-19 pandemic. Educators can use Bain’s 7 best practices in the virtual classroom to aim for success. https://t.co/l2VEpfXCdS
