Distance education is promoted as an effective way to reach more students, but how effective are interactive learning strategies in distance nursing courses? The authors discuss how nursing students adjusted to distance technologies and became actively involved in creating an environment that enabled development of supportive co-learning relationships. Learner perspectives on teaching strategies, distance learning, and becoming nurses are described.
We describe a new species of the ant genus Lasius collected from the arid Chihuahuan Desert, a very unusual habitat for the genus. The workers, females and males of this species are similar to those of L. neoniger, but have more abundant erect hairs on the tibiae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
