Study Notes
Introduction to Educational Technology in Nursing
- Educational technology refers to the use of software and hardware in college and university classrooms to improve the learning environment and increase student outcomes.
- It enhances student engagement and participation in class, and disrupts traditional education and teaching methods.
Definition of Educational Technology
- Educational technology is the systematic application of technology in the field of education.
Ways of Educational Technology
- Creating dynamic textbooks with custom case studies
- Gamification, where games and activities are used to reinforce concepts in a fun way
- Three Dimension (3D) and sensory platforms, including augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence
Principles of Educational Technology
- Good teaching matters, as good teaching can overcome poor technology, but technology will never save bad teaching
- Educational technologies are flexible and interchangeable
- There is no single "super-technology", as all technologies have strengths and weaknesses
- Make all four media (print, audio, television, and computers) available to teachers and learners
- Balance variety with economy to avoid complexity and wasted expenditure
- Interaction is essential for effective learning, and can be provided through appropriate technologies
- Student numbers are critical in technology selection, as some technologies are more economical with large numbers
- Teachers need training to use technologies effectively, including instructional design and how people learn
Impact of Technology on Learning Experience
- Increased accessibility, as technology makes nursing education more accessible through online learning platforms and digital materials
- Interactive learning experiences, such as virtual simulations or virtual reality, provide realistic practice experiences
- Real-time feedback through apps and software, like learning management systems (LMS), boosts learning by identifying areas of improvement and recognizing progress
