“…3,4 In this regard, several studies have shown that the application of technological resources, such as Moodle, applications, social networks, forums and Virtual Learning Environments, provide the acquisition of knowledge and cognitive skills to perform nursing procedures, increasing security and selfconfidence for their achievement by students. 5,6 In this study, the technology came in using a Software developed to be installed in a mobile electronic device such as mobile phones, Smartphones, and Tablets. This resource was chosen because it is a possible computational tool to be run on mobile phones, which is one of the most democratic means of access to digital inclusion today.…”

Objective. To evaluate the influence of the use of digital applications in medicament calculation education for nursing students. Methods. An experimental study was developed with a sample of 100 nursing students, who were divided randomly into two groups (use of the Calculation Medicines -CalcMed application -available free on the Internet, n=50) and control (conventional method of the calculator use and pre-math skills, n=50). Both groups were assessed before and after the application of the teaching strategy through a test with ten specific questions of medicament calculations. Results. The study group showed a mean score of 8.14 versus an average of 5.02 in the control group. The average time of test execution was faster in the study group compared to the control group (15.7 versus 38.9 minutes). Conclusion. The strategy of using this application positively influences learning and enables greater security in the implementation of medicament calculations.

“…The Moodle environment was chosen because it presents the main features of a virtual learning environment (VLE), that is, tools that allow doing assessments, opinion polls, questionnaires, and chat rooms, thereby ensuring interactivity, integration of resources, learning services, and communication (Bollela, Grec, & Matias, 2009;Martins & Campestrini, 2004). Literature shows the importance of virtual environments providing the learning, creation, development, and management of Web courses (Ribeiro & Lopes, 2006;Telles Filho & Cassiani, 2008).…”

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of distance learning courses for the purpose of interdisciplinary continuing education in Speech Pathology and Dentistry. Methods: The online course was made available on the Moodle platform. A total of 30 undergraduates participated in the study (15 from the Dentistry course and 15 from the Speech Pathology course). Their knowledge was evaluated before and after the course, in addition to the user satisfaction by means of specific questionnaires. The course was evaluated by 6 specialists on the following aspects: presentation and quality of the content, audio-visual quality, adequacy to the target public, and information made available. To compare the obtained results in the pre- and post-course questionnaires, the test Wilcoxon was carried out, with a 5% significance level. Results: the teaching/learning process, including the theoretical/practical application for the interdisciplinary training, proved to be effective as there was a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post- course evaluations (p<0.001), the users’ satisfaction degree was favorable and the specialists evaluated the material as adequate regarding the target public, the audio-visual information quality and the strategies of content availability. Conclusion: The suggested distance-learning course proved to be effective for the purpose of Speech Pathology and Dentistry interdisciplinary education.

Distance education has turned into an important tool for nursing education. The virtual learning environments contribute toward an interactive and attractive educational process. In this study, we assess the usability of a virtual learning environment that was developed to teach nursing students how to care for patients with urinary retention. A multicenter and descriptive study was undertaken, which involved nursing students from the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, Brazil, and the Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra, Portugal. The participants were 79 students, mostly female, between 20 and 24 years of age. The virtual learning environment revealed good properties in terms of usability on most criteria. Future research will help to confirm the results.
