Addressing the Challenges Facing Nurse Educators [Session]

Abstract

Session presented on Friday, April 8, 2016:

The demand for innovation in nursing education has increased the use of technology and expanded growth in online courses. Many faculty embrace online learning, while others perceive knowledge and skills associated with navigating online learning as a barrier to education (Hoffmann & Dudjak, 2012). Both online teaching efficacy and technological competency have been associated with online teaching. Therefore, it becomes important to examine educational technology competencies and efficacy in teaching online.
