Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • E-Learning Technologies

Background:

  • E-learning, specifically webcasting, is increasingly adopted in healthcare education for nurses and midwives.
  • Webcasting involves live, synchronous internet broadcasting with interactive text-based discussions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on student participation and satisfaction with webcasting in an undergraduate nursing and midwifery research methods module.
  • To evaluate webcasting as a teaching strategy for geographically distributed students.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey design was employed.
  • Students selected either webcasts or traditional face-to-face lectures.
  • Web-based evaluation questionnaires were administered after each of the four webcasts.

High-throughput Fluorometric Measurement of Potential Soil Extracellular Enzyme Activities

Published on: November 15, 2013

Main Results:

  • Two-thirds of students participated in webcasts, deeming it an acceptable teaching strategy.
  • Significant correlations were found between travel/cost savings and perceived module gains/satisfaction.
  • Over 5446 purposeful messages were posted across four webcasts, indicating active engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Webcasting is an effective and popular teaching strategy for healthcare education.
  • It provides remote access to learning and offers significant time and cost benefits for students.
  • Further research is needed to explore the full educational potential of webcasting.
