“…(10,11) The study findings regarding access location for the course agree with those of another study conducted in Taiwan. (12) In that study, students reported that the ability to access the course from home reduced time that would have been spent in traffic had the student attended an on-site course and decreased the impact on family life because participants could spend more time with their family. Such findings confirm the flexibility that distance learning permits.…”

Objective: To evaluate the distance learning Graduate Nursing Management Program according to the students' perspective. Methods: This exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative approach involved 484 students who had completed the nursing program. For the assessment we used an instrument divided into the following categories: access location, hours dedicated to the program, professors, mentors, students' expectations and general assessment. Association among numerical variables was done using a Pearson's chi-square test, and measurement reliability was assessed with the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: Main results showed that students felt welcomed by mentors and professors and that two courses helped improve professional performance and development of competencies related to management. Conclusion: Courses were evaluated positively and were perceived as a useful tool for training of nurses aim to support transformation of management scenario of Brazilian nursing.

Para a avaliação foi utilizado instrumento dividido nas categorias: local de acesso, horas de dedicação, professores; tutores, expectativas dos alunos e avaliação geral. A associação entre as variáveis numéricas foi realizada por meio do teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson, e a confiabilidade da medição por meio do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Os principais resultados demonstraram que os discentes se sentiram acolhidos pelos tutores e professores, e que os dois cursos contribuíram para melhorar o desempenho profissional e o desenvolvimento de competências relacionadas à gestão.

“…While it is beyond the scope of this article to address adoption of innovations in detail, it is noteworthy that a number of factors have been found to impact on adoption (and therefore sustainability) of e-learning innovations. These include perceived value to the user, accessibility, digital literacy and competence with the technology, motivation, and effectiveness of the innovation (Eley, Fallon, Soar, Buikstra & Hegney, 2008;Kelly, Coburn, Hegarty, Jeffrey & Penman, 2009;Stewart, 2006;Yu, Chen, Yang, Wang & Yen, 2007). Drawing on a survey of higher educators across Australia and New Zealand, Dalgarno, Lee, Carlson, Gregory and Tynan (2011b;see also Dalgarno et al 2011a; discuss the technical and policy hurdles that teaching staff must negotiate to overcome barriers to the utilisation of MUVEs in universities.…”

Pressures in terms of the availability of quality, real-life clinical experiences for students have resulted in increased interest in the use of simulation in a variety of healthcare disciplines. Te wahi whanau: The birth place is a Virtual Birth Centre (VBC) that was created in Second Life in 2009 as part of the Second Life Education in New Zealand (SLENZ) initiative. It was introduced to midwifery students at two New Zealand polytechnics, with the aim of exposing the students to a birth centre environment and providing them with an opportunity to practise midwifery through immersion and engagement in a number of clinical scenarios. It has been just over two years since the development of the VBC, yet it is no longer used in the midwifery programs in which it was introduced. Using the VBC as a case study, we recount its development and critically reflect on the factors impacting on its ongoing utilisation. We believe our reflections offer useful insight into issues relating more broadly to the sustainability of MUVE-based teaching and learning projects and initiatives.

“…E-learning offers considerable flexibility in time, space, and selection of curricula and content which may be particularly useful if a large HCW population has to be trained. 843 Basic computer skills and easy access to a personal computer and the Internet are required, which may preclude the use of e-learning in resourcepoor facilities. 843,844 To conceive and construct an e-learning module is a very time-consuming task requiring specific competences by the trainer.…”
