Can a ‘live’ presentation be taped and given for credit later?
Yes. If the activity will be used independently by the learner, rather than as a “student” in a classroom/seminar experience this is considered to be a different learning activity. The sponsor must develop the tape into a CNE activity based on the materials and strategies used and submit it for nursing contact hours separately from the classroom presentation. Some different information that would be required would include: how contact hours were determined, as it was not a classroom presentation; how you would validate that the learner actually completed the course, for example a post test; and the inclusion of an evaluation tool that reflects an independent learning activity format.
