ACTIVE LEARNING
Students engage in learning; students take responsibility for their own learning, complete assignments on time, share responsibilities for collaboration, and construct their own knowledge and meaning.
Students actively participate in discussion forums.
“When students perceive their experience as enjoyable, satisfying, and personally and professionally fulfilling, they tend to interact more, which results in enhanced learning” (Esani, 2010, p. 187).
FEEDBACK VS VEEDBACK Students seek feedback to
improve learning and connectedness.
Students experience frustration after receiving feedback on written assignments.
Students have difficulty deciphering margin comments and fail to apply feedback to revisions (Clements 2006, Nurmukhamedov & Kim 2010).
Screen casting allows instructors to provide students with in-depth feedback and/or evaluation (Thompson & Lee, 2012).
Veedback allows the teacher to zoom in and highlight portions for discussion while scrolling through the document.
COLLABORATION WITH PEERS
Students ask questions, discuss, and share information
and resources to elicit greater understanding for all course members. Students assume responsibility
for completing collaborative work assignments
and working in teams (Wagner, 2003).
Interactions and collaboration have two purposes: they
must change learners, and they must move learners toward an action state of goal attainment (Wagner, 2003).
STUDENT FACULTY INTERACTION
Audiovisual feedback motivates students and increases their engagement in their own learning. Holmes, Bryn and Gardner (2006) note that student motivation is multifaceted and constructive, meaningful feedback provides a motivational environment.
Personalize the discussion forum by adding student and instructor photos to names.
Unlike with written comments, students note that video comments improved their learning because instructors provide deeper explanations (Thompson & Lee, 2012).
Learning Strategies
• Encourages group interaction such as the discussion forum, enhances personal feedback
• Addresses multiple senses , connects new and previously attained knowledge
• Students are engaged in self-directed learning
• Continuous positive reinforcement and repetition through discussion forums

The baccalaureate nursing education is based on the nursing paradigm and relationship of individuals, health, environment and nursing and adult learning theory (Kaplan University, 2011).

Revisions to Meet the Educational Outcomes.
Revisions to the educational plan are used to enhance the student’s educational experience to advance the nursing student to become a competent and caring provider of health care.
The goal of nursing education is to focus on the patient for without them there is no fulcrum of nursing practice. Education should be based on sound quantitative and qualitative research that is able to assist individuals toward maximizing health potential through the entire health continuum.
