@JuneAnn_RN This is why getting to know the students’ learning style and needs are so important. One strategy to accomplish this is having them complete a learner self-assessment. Another strategy is to ensure that course content is available in a variety of formats. #DistEd534

@JuneAnn_RN Mentoring plays a critical role in the development of new nurse faculty. A mentor can help new educators through orientation to the role, integration into the academic community, and with developing teaching and research skills. #DistEd534

@jen16825098 The NLN’s fifth core competency refers to the responsibility of the nurse educator to pursue improvement in our role. Continued education through professional nursing organizations is a good way to stay up-tp-date on the latest EBP in nursing and nursing education. #DistEd534

This report covers best practices in distance education. Such as, effective communication, timely feedback, and proactive course management. These principles were developed at Penn State’s World Campus to outline core behaviors of successful online instructors. #DistEd534

@Kaitlin54927151 Examples of this is seen in the 3 P’s courses. Using Shadow Health for developing patient assessment and interviewing skills played into all of my learning styles and helped me retain the knowledge I gained from the experiences and bring them into my current practice. #DistED534

During this pandemic, educators in traditional classrooms have faced the same challenges as those in the online environment. However, utilizing web-based technologies and social media can help create interactions with students similar to those in the live classroom. #DistEd534

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Even as professors have grown more comfortable teaching online, many miss the kinds of interactions that usually define a campus. https://t.co/0bJuHW3kFW

@jen16825098 A clearly defined response plan for instructor feedback discussed on the first day of a course helps eliminate the expectation that the instructor is available 24/7. Proactive management of the course also helps to avoid instructor burnout. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

@jen16825098 Healthcare is full of diversity making the acquisition of cultural competence skills a priority. In my facility, we begin laying the foundation and expectations of inclusion and cultural competence on the first day of hospital orientation. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

@cherylmarx7 I agree it sounds like a fun and engaging teaching strategy in the traditional classroom. However, it would be complicated to incorporate in an asynchronous online environment. Perhaps it could be done using virtual reality or a 3D simulation environment. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

Peer debriefing enhances students’ overall learning during simulation-based education. It also increases student confidence and reduces their stress and anxiety. https://t.co/MiluoGy9fY #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

Following @NCSBNLearnExt helps students prepare for the NCLEX. It is a good resource for nurse educators to implement into their curriculum to give students an early start for preparing for taking their licensing exam. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

This blog covers an interview of two nurse educators on their views on the challenges and future of distance education. Maintaining personal communication was one challenge and the growth of simulation experiences was the future. #DistEd534

Engaging students in the online environment is critical for active learning and student success. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

@Jennifer30114 We have many new nurses starting in the facility that have only had high fidelity simulation experiences due to COVID. Their progress through orientation has not been any different than those who did live clinical. Our residency program helped tremendously. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

@DJSRN I love VR as a learning tool! It is immersive and highly conducive to clinical and hands-on training. It allows for the repeated practice of skills in a safe environment. I like that it is a great teaching strategy that meets a variety of learning styles. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

@Stephan28516732 I can relate the points brought up in this article. I put off advancing my education due to fear of the online environment. The use of technology frustrated me and I missed the face-to-face interaction with an instructor. #DistEd534

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

Gaming is an effective strategy to engage students and make them active in their learning process. #DistEd534

Asynchronous online learning requires educators to use a variety of learning strategies to promote active learning.

Read the new #PublishAheadOfPrint #TeachingTips! "Podcasts and Lifelong Learning"

Dr. Schmitz writes, "I got the idea to utilize a podcast as an active-learning strategy through one of the courses that I completed while working to earn my Ph.D." https://t.co/kNiLU7wpNy

[Merinda Robbins @MerindaRobbins]

The cultural diversity of today’s patient populations require nurses to provide culturally competent care. This article describes using online role-playing to create culturally competent communication. #DistEd534
