Assignment: Nursing
Over the past several decades, technology has become inseparable from nursing education. Whether it is a tool to help facilitate skills acquisition (simulations), a curriculum delivery tool (online education courses), or a means to greater access to care and education (telehealth), technology plays a key part in curriculum design. As an advanced practice nurse educator, you will need to have the capacity to evaluate current and emerging technology and determine how to optimize its use for achieving learning objectives in both the classroom and the clinical setting.
