Kahoot! is more than a game, it is an interactive e-Learning tool that can be used to increase student engagement and vitality to the classroom as well as provide real-time feedback to faculty. #DistEd534

A good article on the importance of discussion questions in online education. They are actually an important assessment tool for evaluating the learning process. #DistEd534

Colleges and Universities that decline to embrace distance learning risk losing out on a large portion of the student population. #DistEd534

As more and more institutions offer online courses, faculty readiness and experience with distance learning can play a major factor in student success. #DistEd534

Distance education does present a new set of issues for Boards of Nursing to consider, especially the clinical aspects. #DistEd534

One major benefit of distance education is that it is flexible to learners, cost-effective, and provides access to a wide range of resources. #DistEd534

Any tool that helps in keeping the learner engaged should be considered for the classroom. #DistEd534

Online games for education has continued to rise due to the benefits that comes along with it. This article looked at how serious gaming can help in education and what needs to be considering when using those games in the classroom. #DistEd534

Yes, but live group discussions and interactions are extremely difficult to manage in online classrooms and asynchronous discussions can take too much time. How do we work around the time issue? #DistEd534

[Kaitlin Howard @Kaitlin54927151]

As distance education becomes a bigger part of secondary education, educators need to think about creating communities in the online classroom. Educators should encourage group discussions and group work while setting guidelines for appropriate online behavior #DistEd534

I have seen both good and bad rubrics, and a poorly written rubric can certainly affect the outcome of the assignment. Communication of expectations should be a priority of an instructor. #DistEd534

[Cara Mabry @mabry_cara]

@Kaitlin54927151 Rubrics have been an amazing tool to have in the online environment!They can provide students with specific instructions about what is expected from each assignment and how each area will affect their grades. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

Speaking personally, there is no way that I would have been able to advance my degree without online learning. It would have been just too hard to find the time. I think more employers should advocate for it. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

I agree, there can be both good and bad experiences with them, however, there is learning and experience to be had with both. Just need to find ways to make them work. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

I love Kahoot, I'm still fairly new to it but have found it to be engaging and fun to use, it can be hard to keep the attention span up in the classroom sometimes, and this definitely helps. #DistEd534

[LeAnn Bellos @BellosLeann]

This is a great tool to keep things interesting in the online classroom. It can introduce topics, review topics and initiates great discussions. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

True, without the face-to-face interactions of a traditional classroom, prompt feedback and communication should be at the top of the list. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

I agree, the pandemic has certainly changed many things, education just being one of them. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

Resilience and quality of life in this profession should be a part of every curriculum due to the stressful aspects of the job. It shouldn't be constrained to a pandemic, distance learning, or any other single factor. #DistEd534

#Repost "Quality of Life, Resilience, and Related Factors of Nursing Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic" #COVID19 and the associated measures to mitigate the spread of the virus have significantly disrupted #nursing #education. https://t.co/yGol2ltthx

I think it has the potential to open up many possibilities for future students, but at the same time there will be more potential for fraud and students will have to vet their options even more. Maybe a change in accreditation? #DistEd534

[Kaitlin Howard @Kaitlin54927151]

What was once thought to be crucial in learning (small in-person classes) is now seen as archaic. Colleges like Arizona State University are working to expand their distance education programs. But what does that mean for the future students... and their money? #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

@Kaitlin54927151 I do, not necessarily the amount of hours required, but they have already had to adjust to changes d/t Covid, they will have to get creative in order to meet the increased demand of online classes. #DistEd534

[T @RNRatchedd]

Nursing demand is continuing to grow and online/distance learning is making it easier than ever.

These look like a good addition to an online nursing course. Especially if there is the ability to actively interact with other students and the instructor. #DistEd534
