The Nursing Ace has strict sourcing and writing guidelines. Firstly, we DONT publish AI generated content. We draw only from peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, medical journals and associations. We avoid using tertiary references. Within each article, we provide accurate primary sources.
Sample Question
Conduct a search on current literature (published within the last 5 years) for a minimum of 3 scholarly research articles about distance education programs, web-based education, or the application of informatics and technology to nursing education. Conduct analysis and discussion on the articles and describe the outcomes for particular distance learning modalities. Discuss one of the following:
- What extent do you believe that technology-supported distance education programs changed nursing education for the 21st century?
- Discuss the pros and cons of the delivery of clinical courses through distance education strategies.
- Select a course that you teach and adapt it to either on-line, video-conferencing, hybrid, or web-based technology. Explain your rational for your selection as it applies to the course.
Question Explanation
My discussion point for the project evaluation project is analysis of the pros and cons of delivery of clinical courses through the distance education strategies. I have selected this discussion point for various reasons. First, there has been an increase in the enrollment of nursing students in distance education programs, and hence it is important to understand the main attractions of taking distance education modules over the traditional brick and mortal classes. Secondly, I would like to learn about the impacts of undertaking distance education clinical courses on the competence of the learners in delivering quality healthcare services to patients in diverse clinical settings.
