“…Notwithstanding, there are drawbacks to online learning. First, as noted by others (e.g., Huckstadt & Hayes, 2005), online modules require intensive work to create. For our program, this included writing the demonstration cases, sequencing the modules with the didactic and clinical skills curricula, training the SPs, videotaping the demonstrations, and developing the Internet system to house and run the modules.…”

“…Previous studies indicate that use of online computer-based learning significantly increases the amount of learning, with improvements detected in critical thinking skills and clinical competency (Huckstadt & Hayes, 2005;Litchfield, Oakland, & Anderson, 2002). For example, a recent study concludes that clinicians who used online training to enhance communication skills for pediatric visits were more confident in discussing diagnosis and treatment as well as in managing negative interactions (Kemper, Foy, Wissow, & Shore, 2008).…”

Online, interactive video modules were created to demonstrate good skills in history taking, counseling, and communication. The authors evaluated the effect of the modules on students' data gathering, counseling, and communication skills with standardized patients (SPs). A student cohort without the online modules (n = 76 medical students and n = 43 dental students) was compared to a cohort of different students who were assigned the modules (n = 88 medical students and n = 39 dental students). Students were evaluated by SPs using case-specific content checklists and the Master Interview Rating Scale (MIRS). Compared to their counterparts who did not use the modules, medical and dental students who used the modules showed significantly higher performance on several outcomes. The areas that showed benefit were those that were novel to students. Student accuracy in grading others was generally unrelated to their own performance. In conclusion, the online, interactive video modules were associated with improvements in a majority of clinical skills.

“…[12][13][14] The oneto-one nature of discussions increases time commitment as does writing text messages, reading every posting, and providing feedback to every student. However, tutor feedback indicated that the workload was manageable.…”

“…However, student satisfaction and learning in online courses is highly correlated with interaction with the instructor. 13 The more actively involved students are in the learning process, the better their rates of knowledge retention. 8,16 In addition, student feedback indicates that some of the tutors were inconsistent in their feedback; therefore, some students did not develop necessary competencies early in the program.…”

The shortage of nursing faculty in Canada, particularly those qualified to teach students in nurse practitioner programs, has contributed to the use of adjunct teachers and online methodologies. The author discusses 1 nurse practitioner online program's use of nurse practitioners who work in full-time clinical roles as tutors. Learning through experience, the author shares how the online tutor role was developed to assist those who are considering using tutors as a program delivery strategy.

“…There have been reports of effective uses of technology in educating health professionals [4][5][6][7][8][9] and in terms of nurse education several studies have focused on its use in Continual Professional Development (CPD) [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In nearly all cases the potential benefits to the institution in providing CPD activities using technology have been identified as ease of use, reduced need for travel and expense, and wide availability of information resources.…”

Students from healthcare programmes within the United Kingdom are supported in their clinical placements by appropriately qualified members of staff who require annual updates to maintain their currency in this role; a professional and regulatory body stipulation. In response to increasing pressures within the workplace that are negatively impacting upon opportunities to access the current method for delivering these updates, an alternative has been sought. In a cross-Department initiative at the University of Huddersfield, an online, multi-professional package (currently for Nursing, Midwifery and Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs)) is in development. It is designed to replace the traditional face-to-face delivery method whilst maintaining the required quality and standards inherent within a professional programme. This paper will outline the process to-date, discuss how design and content issues are being addressed towards producing a tool which aims to meet the demands of all stakeholders, and consider future directions for the project.
