- Adult Learning
Background:
- Graduate nursing education has shifted to asynchronous, hybrid models, increasing screen time and causing screen fatigue.
- Faculty sought to reduce screen-based learning by converting a didactic critical care course to a podcast format.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of podcasts in delivering graduate nursing course content.
- To assess if podcasts meet course objectives and engage learners.
- To understand learner perceptions of podcasts in an educational setting.
Main Methods:
- A pilot study employed pre-course and post-course surveys.
- The study focused on a didactic critical care course transitioned to a podcast-based format.
Main Results:
- Podcast-based delivery successfully met course objectives.
- Learner engagement with podcast content was equal to or greater than screen-based lectures.
- Surveys indicated positive learner perceptions of podcasts as an educational tool.
Conclusions:
- Podcasts are a viable and innovative modality for didactic course content delivery in graduate nursing education.
- This format effectively engages adult learners in an asynchronous, distance-friendly manner.
- Podcasts can meet educational objectives while mitigating screen fatigue.
