@RachelStimeling Nursing education draws a diverse adult learning population. Flexibility of online education allows these learners to engage in coursework that a traditional model would deny them (Billings & Halstead, 2016). #DistEd534

@RachelStimeling Technology can increase educators ability to engage and interact with students. With frequent advancements in technology, educators must evaluate new tools to ensure that integrating them into the classroom will help learners meet course outcomes (O'Neil et al., 2019) #DistEd534

@RachelStimeling The NLN identifies that nurse educators act as change agents and leaders (Billings & Halstead, 2016). The pandemic provided the opportunity for distance education to take center stage and help many understand its ability to take education to the digital age #DistEd534

@candyburcheri Diverse learning styles and experiences in an adult learner student population provide nursing students with opportunity to learn to collaborate and understand different perspectives. These skills are essential to nursing practice (Billings & Halstead, 2016) #DistEd534

@candyburcheri Even though very beneficial, simulation cannot account for the unpredictability of interacting with real patients. Many students may lack the confidence to perform skills hands on after having performed a majority of their clinical experience in simulation #DistEd534

@candyburcheri Simulation is a valuable tool in both in-person classrooms and distance education. Simulation can occur online both synchronously utilizing web conferencing systems and asynchronously utilizing digital media platforms like Second Life (Billings & Halstead, 2016) #DistEd534

@cmstevens37 Active learning is essential when working with adult learners. Facilitators must identify new and innovative ways to help students be responsible for their learning process, like using this tool and flipped classroom models. (Billings & Halstead, 2016) #DistEd534

@kkaydee87 Within online education, educators must strive to integrate active learning techniques. Online simulation as you described is an excellent way to enhance critical thinking skills and provide opportunities to collaborate online. These skills are essential within nursing #DistEd534

@kkaydee87 I prefer interactive instruction, but my department is too small to provide synchronous experiences for all learners all the time so we must continue to expand our teaching repertoire to include indirect instruction as well #DistEd534

[Minervathelearna @Minervalearna]

@kkaydee87 Distance education allows faculty to reach more students than they could reach on a campus (O'Neil et al., 2019). The robot you described has been researched to allow educators reach a wide variety of students in the clinical realm, and provide high quality feedback #DistEd534

[Minervathelearna @Minervalearna]

@kkaydee87 Learning preferences help educators reach diverse student populations, and help students understand how they can succeed (Billings & Halstead, 2016). Facilitators should encourage students to discover their own learning style through tools like the VARK assessment #DistEd534

Smart et al (2020) discuss the benefits and demands of technology in learning, including resources for students and faculty alike. Institutions must commit to resources to train students and faculty on the use of technology, to provide an effective learning experience #DistEd534

Shosha et al. (2019) researched the effect of the use of mobile applications in nursing education and found that it increased student satisfaction. Students already use smartphones to interact, and integration into distance education can make programs more effective #DistEd534

Nursing institutions must support all faculty who are expected to teach online. Dana and Farley (2019) identified that the development of onboarding programs for both full time and adjunct faculty can help to eliminate the barriers for educators to teach online #DistEd534

Social interaction may be less available when transitioning nursing courses online. Nursing educators must strive to provide opportunities for collaborative learning by utilizing digital tools, virtual study environments, and student resources (Langegard et al., 2021) #DistEd534
