Summary
Nurses created a virtual learning environment (VLE) for distance learning (DL) in a cardiology hospital. Despite challenges, they gained technological skills and implemented innovative educational processes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Distance Learning Technologies
Context:
- Implementation of distance learning (DL) in a public cardiology hospital setting.
- Development of a virtual learning environment (VLE) by a group of 23 nurses.
Purpose:
- To describe the construction and implementation of a VLE within a social network for DL.
- To evaluate the VLE from the perspectives of tutors and students.
Summary:
- The study details the creation of a VLE for DL, involving education, development, and evaluation phases.
- Nurses enhanced their technological knowledge and VLE utilization skills.
- Challenges included lack of expertise, time, infrastructure, tools, and internet access.
Impact:
- Nurses developed advanced skills in technology, creativity, and resourcefulness.
- Overcame structural difficulties through teamwork and innovative in-service educational strategies.
- Successfully implemented an innovative educational process in a healthcare setting.

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

1.9K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...
