Abstract:
The use of distance learning continues to improve accessibility to nursing education programs, yet online teaching remains an intimidating experience for novice educators. An emerging role in professional faculty development is the online educator, who serves as a mentor for novice faculty. This article presents the necessary elements to plan, organize, and manage asynchronous online courses, especially for novice educators and online faculty mentors. Course engagement and faculty-student online communication strategies are explored using examples. Threaded discussion strategies for engaging students in active, collaborative learning are discussed using specific examples. A threaded discussion grading rubric is included. Strategies to sustain interactive learning and evaluate student learning using examples are offered.
