Synopsis

This text is for all faculty in the healthcare professions, especially in nursing, who are being challenged to keep up with the rapidly changing online, educational, and clinical technologies. The text focuses on how to incorporate the broad range of teaching technologies that go beyond teaching online courses and the use of patient simulators into online, classroom, and clinical teaching. This focus is congruent with the national priority to utilize health information technology to improve health care outcomes through informing clinical care, interconnecting clinicians, personalizing care, and improving population health. Important pedagogy utilized throughout the text includes: best teaching practices, teaching/learning self-assessment tools, tips for practice/making teaching easier, key point summaries, reflective questions and activities for the reader, all of which are supported by the consistent application of the TeachTeach Template.
