While most assume that the knowledge and skills required for classroom teaching are readily translatable to teaching online, significant differences exist. Characteristics unique to the online environment promote reflection and engagement with the content in a deep and meaningful way that factors in adult students' strengths as self-directed, motivated, and goal-driven learners. This resource provides step-by-step instructions for RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing, master's, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and PhD faculty on how to teach online effectively, engage students, and foster success for both student and teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesigning and Teaching Online Courses in Nursing\u003c\/i\u003e offers practical information on every aspect of teaching an online course. Foundational educational theories and concepts, including new insights from cognitive psychology, are explained and linked in such a way that operationalizing them during course design makes good sense. The core sections of the text focus on online course design, including drafting course objectives and a syllabus and crafting discussion questions or cases. Key to teaching an online course is understanding and being comfortable with facilitation strategies to maintain a balance between being present in the course and not getting in the way of learning. Worksheets with guiding questions, discussion tracking tools, and other instructor resources will assist readers in developing the best approach for designing and teaching a specific online course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides online worksheets to guide each step of the process of designing and teaching a course online\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes best practices in online education and the latest research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures the outcomes-based approach of Wiggins and McTighe, reconceptualized for online course development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecaps key points in Take-Away summaries at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.46w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826134080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKennedy, Sally:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSally Kennedy, PhD, APRN, FNP, CNE, \u003c\/b\u003e is a semi-retired lifelong learner who is committed to reforming online education. She recently retired as an assistant professor to pursue consulting and writing. Dr. Kennedy has been a nurse for more than 40 years, with most of her career spent in clinical practice as a nurse practitioner. When she began teaching nurse practitioner students 20 years ago, she became enthralled with teaching methods and subsequently pursued a doctorate in online education with a specialization in online instructional design. Along the way, Dr. Kennedy was introduced to problem-based learning (PBL), realized its potential for clinical nursing education, and subsequently led faculty in the transition from a master's-level, classroom-based PBL curriculum to an online program, which \u003ci\u003eU.S. News \u0026amp; World Report\u003c\/i\u003e recognized as number one among online graduate nursing programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40201474179187,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":60.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_cb1be822-7d86-4ba9-9bef-3fb97a83c54f.jpg?v=1656166081","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/designing-and-teaching-online-courses-in-nursing-9780826134080","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
