This webinar is designed to equip nurse educators with the knowledge and skills to effectively leverage technology in their teaching practices. Participants will gain practical insights, best practices, and evidence-based approaches to integrate technology seamlessly into their teaching and foster a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Today's learners are diverse consumers. Our job is to engage, teach and mentor those who have different learning styles, different generational expectations and short attention spans. How do you best-teach those with diverse backgrounds and experience levels? We must adapt our teaching methods to the seven expectations of the two youngest generations.
Designing a Curriculum for Nursing Practice Readiness - Participating in revising a nursing curriculum is one of the eight Academic Nurse Educator competencies. The topics in this session that will help prepare educators develop this competency include essential components of a curriculum, integration of contemporary content topics, syllabi development, and program evaluation.
This session provides a "how–to” approach for developing a concept map as an active teaching/learning tool helping students "put the pieces of the puzzle together.” Development, grading, repetition and barriers will be discussed. Concept Maps will be provided as examples for use for study or examples with teaching. Understanding how concept mapping really works in developing clinical judgment is an eye-opener for many.
Facilitating Didactic Learning for Diverse Students - Nurse educators are responsible for facilitating learning for diverse students. The topics in this session that will help faculty learn how to facilitate learning and socialization into the nursing role include: teaching vs. learning, student-centered learning, active learning to develop clinical judgment skills, and mastery learning.
This interactive webinar will explore innovative strategies, tools, and resources that foster active learning, critical thinking, and professional development among nursing students. Participants will gain valuable insights, practical tips, and evidence-based practices to enhance their teaching effectiveness and promote a dynamic and inclusive learning environment in nursing education.
Assessing Didactic Learning for Diverse Students - Test-writing and other learning assessments are often a challenge for both novice and experienced nurse educators. The topics in this session that will help faculty improve their ability to create valid assessments of learning include: formative vs. summative evaluation methods, scholarly papers and projects, writing valid and reliable test items (focus on NCLEX® and NGN), and role of standardized testing.
Facilitating and Assessing Learning in the Clinical Practice Environment - Clinical environments allow students to translate knowledge into practice. This session will help nurse educators better facilitate and assess clinical learning; topics include: selecting clinical learning experiences, trends in clinical skill practice and development, role of manikin and virtual simulation, and clinical performance evaluation.
