Upon completion of the presentation, the participant will be able to: 1. Describe the process necessary to convert a lecture, campus-based course, to a web-based course. 2. Identify strengths and challenges in teaching community health nursing online. 3. Develop strategies to support online learners and learning.
This presentation will be especially useful to community health nursing educators as they face the challenges of increasing accessibility to BSN educational programs. Online learning is one methodology to provide an accessible yet quality educational experience in community health nursing. The presentation will describe the process utilized to transition the lecture portion of community health nursing from a campus-based course to an online course in an upper-division RN-BSN program. Strengths and challenges of online education for both students and faculty will be discussed as well as strategies recommended for dealing with the challenges and promoting learning.
