Abstract:
The purpose of this course innovation was to introduce Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)-style questions and create supplemental cooperative learning assignments (CLAs) to enhance content mastery in a prelicensure maternity course. The course itself is divided into three modules focusing on maternal, newborn, and women's health. Three CLAs and two Canvas quizzes were developed to reinforce the course content and integrate NGN-style case studies and questions. The CLAs and quizzes aligned with the course module content. Anecdotally, students endorsed the CLAs as a positive experience, emphasizing the value of learning to set care priorities for maternity patients.
