NURSING EDUCATIONAL DESIGN
NSG5NED
2015
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Nursing Educational design is focused on the utilization of principles and theories of learning and instructional design to design and develop a learning program in the clinical setting. The subject requires learners to complete a needs assessment to identify and then construct effective learning outcomes for the program. Students will identify and develop assessment tasks for the program and formulate teaching and learning activities to enable the participants of the program to meet the identified learning outcomes of the program. A selected variety of learning and teaching approaches are explored and the learning achieved from the various approaches is also investigated. The use of the virtual learning environment and simulation in education in the clinical setting is also discussed. Program evaluation is explored and how evaluation outcomes can be used to redevelop and refine learning programs.
