Full Description
Online Nursing Education as Art and Science: Teaching, Learning, and Caring in the Virtual Setting is an enlightening and timely resource that addresses the complexities of online teaching for nurse educators. It offers a dual perspective by intertwining the technical 'science' of online course creation with the 'art' of fostering meaningful connections in a digital landscape. The book emphasizes the application of adult learning theories and optimization of technology to support effective instructional strategies.
The text is organized into two main sections. The first dissects the methodological aspects of virtual course instruction, from online course design to technology integration, equipping educators with necessary digital competencies. The second part explores how educators can demonstrate care, facilitate student engagement, manage the dynamics of online interaction, and incorporate principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in instruction.
Online Nursing Education as Art and Science is well suited for nurse educator programs. The textbook is an exemplary resource for both seasoned and emerging nurse educators looking to refine their online teaching practices.
