Abstract:
Literature suggests use of audio-video (AV) technology enhances a sense of connectedness between students in online programs. In a previous quantitative study conducted by these authors, the use of AV discussion responses revealed that social presence was negatively impacted. This descriptive study explored RN to BSN students' experiences with AV discussion formats. Participants found value related to forming distinct impressions of others but expressed feelings of distress; they described issues with technology and time as barriers. Implications suggest that AV format is not supported for use in every discussion forum but may be of value if limited to select discussion forums.
