How Do You Facilitate A Nursing Online Course?
Many nurses choose to pursue a career in education. With technology growing on a daily basis, it should come as no surprise that online nursing classes are not a thing of the future, but actually a thing of today. Teaching online nursing courses requires ingenuity and creativity. It is up to the nurse educator to teach difficult to master content in an unconventional learning setting. Encourage all students to post a short autobiography about themselves on the first day of class. This will encourage students to get to know one another, just as they would in a traditional classroom. This is important so that classmates feel a sense of respect for one another. This greatly increases online classroom participation and decreases internet bullying. Encourage students to post questions, thoughts, and scenarios in the classroom for the class to ponder and respond to. Getting a group discussion going can be difficult to do online, but an interesting topic can spark a lively discussion. Ensure
