Abstract:
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.
