Abstract

National health initiatives and nursing accreditation expectations surrounding the need for nursing graduates to have skills in various technologies are placing increased demand on nursing programs to deliver a technologically competent workforce. The integration of technology into nursing curricula will require well-developed faculty development programs that provide the resources and support necessary for the successful adoption of technology across the curriculum. diffusion theory and research on faculty adoption of technology suggest successful faculty development endeavors include aspects that address faculty needs and lead to increased confidence. This evidence-based project evaluated the use of a multidisciplinary support team to increase faculty adoption of the iPad in clinical and classroom teaching/learning. The results provide insight into the process, pitfalls, and lessons learned when implementing a new technology to nursing faculty and support the use of a multidisciplinary team approach.
