Hypermedia-Assisted Instruction: Authoring With Learning Guidelines, Carol Sternberger, Linda Meyer

Carol S Sternberger

The use of computers in nursing education has evolved from elementary drill and practice tutorials to challenging presentations. Hypermedia technology has emerged as a powerful method of instruction that allows the user to experience new concepts, gain cognitive skill, and encounter realistic clinical situations in a no-harm environment. Hypermedia incorporates sound, video, graphics, text, and interaction. This article describes the process used to develop a CD-ROM for adult cardiovascular nursing that can be used as an interactive instructional program. A description of the use of Gagne’s instructional design theory is incorporated as a framework to guide the project. Educators possess …

Embedding A Pedagogical Model In The Design Of An On-Line Course, Carol Sternberger

Carol S Sternberger

The importance of course design and its relationship to learning is overlooked when the electronic version of a course is static. The author discusses the process used to redesign a traditional course into a dynamic and interactive Web-based course by using a pedagogical model developed specifically for hypermedia. Congruence between the instructional methods and the media is a must for a successful design that meets the needs of a wide variety of learners. The hyperlearning model, Dimensions, provides the infrastructure to facilitate the congruence of methods and media while supporting multiple learning styles.

The Great Music Experiment: Taking The Great Cookie Experiment To The Web, Carol Sternberger

Carol S Sternberger

Helping undergraduate nursing students understand the research process and equipping them to be good consumers of research presents a challenging agenda to faculty.

Wisneski reported that nursing students feel research is a “necessary evil” that must be faced to progress in the curriculum. 1 Phobias about research continue to interfere with learning and appreciating the role of research in nursing. 2 Teaching foundational concepts is requisite for nurses to use research for evidence-based practice. 1,3 Therefore, the importance of …

Technological Ubiquity: Educating Educators For The Dynamic Digital Landscape, Carol Sternberger Jul 2014

Technological Ubiquity: Educating Educators For The Dynamic Digital Landscape, Carol Sternberger

Carol S Sternberger

Educators must be responsive to the dynamic, technology rich healthcare environment. It is important for universities to move beyond expecting graduates to have isolated technology skills. Designing curricula that will produce graduates who are comfortable using technology and possess the ability to interpret, analyze and synthesize data requires a different approach to education. The paper focuses on the various technologies integrated in a graduate course designed to prepare nurse educators to work in both academic and clinical environments. Best practices, evidence-based methods and integrated concepts from a requisite informatics course were foundational in the course assignments that focused on the …

Carol S Sternberger

Educators continue to search for effective methods that will engage students in their learning. This article presents the integration of clickers while using the constructivist approach to foster critical thinking wile engaging learners in a large classroom setting. A 22-item survey was used to measure the perceived value by students to the use of clickers in engaging them in the learning process and fostering critical thinking. Clickers, also known as personal response systems, created an interactive environment, moving students beyond simple recall to application, analysis, and construction of knowledge.
