Gamification in higher education is an innovative approach to make learning more interactive and engaging, along with being easily adaptable to the online learning environment. Examples include Kahoot!, Factile, and Virtual Escape Rooms. #DistEd534

Problem-Based Learning Objects (PBLO) is an interesting concept to the online learning environment. PBLO is a 4-component collaborative assignment. PBLO consists of a case study video, transcript, informative text, and questions. #DistEd534

The literature is full of advancements in technological applications to deliver online education; educators' responsibility is to ensure that we are not overwhelming our learners and are appropriately applying the technology to intended learning outcomes. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

Frazer, et al.’s (2017) article, Faculty Perceptions of Online Teaching Effectiveness & Indicators of Quality, describe student success and students' ability to apply knowledge as indicators of effective teaching. What else can we educators assess? #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@NurseWernerRN Along with this, we have to be careful as educators that we are not overwhelming the learners with multiple new technologies. All technology requires a period of learning. Another thing to take into account, is the technology appropriate for the learning outcomes? #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@NurseWernerRN I could not agree with you more. Prompt feedback provides the learner with direction. Feedback tells the learner whether they are on the right track or need to make adjustments to ensure success in the course. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn I believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively propelled distance education across the globe. We all had to adjust from academia to hospital institutions to provide education to our learners. This has shown that online education is possible and can be successful. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn This is so true. I know from personal experience that the reason I signed up for an online MSN program is it worked with my work and personal life. I did not take into account whether this avenue of education delivery was a fit for my learning style. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

This was in the Nurse Educator September/October 2021 Journal. Screencasting technology can help us educators improve communication with our learners. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

This even though small scale, showed the value of virtual simulation in distance education. #DistEd534

A look at the use of a newly developed virtual patient encounter in distance learning for #nursing students. https://t.co/TFRO9KVwaT

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn @EducatorLoren I agree with you. The only way for myself to go back to school for my MSN is through distance education. Accreditation bodies will help maintain standards. The challenge is for learners to navigate through the program's and determine which ones are quality. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn @ChrisAu48938275 I agree with you, that some of the professors responses in online education seem disconnected, prescripted, and unrelated to the discussion post. This alienates the learner and promotes disengagement.

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@ChrisAu48938275 Wow, this is dedication on the part of this educator. This is a nice gesture at the end of the class. I wonder what kind of a activity an educator can do at the beginning of the class to make the students feel valued and develop a connection? #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

How many of us have heard of Generation Z? This article gives us insight on how to support, engage, and interact with this group of learners. Ensuring that we are developing an inclusive learning environment. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn A Cohort-Based Course is an interesting concept to help make online education achieve more of a community feel. When we promote community environments the learners feel they belong and studies have shown this is beneficial to learning. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@NurseWernerRN Precepting is such an important role in education. Preceptors are role models. #DistEd534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

This program can help us educators develop our Socratic inquiry skills, helping us promote discussion in distance education. #DistEd534

This is an assignment possiblity for distance education, having the students prepare a TED talk. The assignment wasn't well received by the students. This could be due to unclear expectations or educator influence. #DistEd534 https://t.co/kuoF00FFYt

Here is more information about how Nearpod is changing the way educators engage students in higher education with the new higher education platform. https://t.co/v03JZtvrBp #Disted534

[Marianne Stallings @Stallings_MA]

@JjohnsonMsn This is a difficult topic, as many students choose the online route for it's flexibility. However, students don't consider whether online programs fit their learning style. #DistEd534
