Compare two versions of a similar technology that can be used for teaching, learning, or assessment in nursing education

Assessment 3 follows ID # 136324, & 136389 Compare the features, benefits, and capabilities of two versions of a similar technology that can be used for teaching, learning, or assessment in nursing education, using the Technology Comparison Template provided. Then, determine which teaching and learning situations the technology is best suited for and how it can be incorporated into a specific nursing education program. Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented. When comparing educational technologies and evaluating their suitability for particular teaching and learning situations, it is important to determine how nurse educators will use the technology and how well it fits into the organization's existing nursing education strategy. Successful integration of new or updated technology into the nursing education environment depends on how well you understand the role of technology in education and training. When considering new technologies, it is sometimes easy to let a product's impressive but non-value-added bells and whistles influence decision making, which could have an adverse impact on learning outcomes. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine the capabilities of a selected type of educational technology, how it is used in specific educational settings, and how it can be integrated into an existing nursing education program Suggested Resources Technology in Nursing Education The following articles provide insight into the factors influencing the adoption of educational technologies and their effectiveness in nursing education: • Dumitrache, A.

Preparation Whether your needs assessment identified shortfalls in the use of current educational technology, the need for an upgrade to existing technology, or the need for new technology, you know that knowledge of current technologies is key to making informed decisions when considering improvements to existing educational programs. Consequently, you have decided to examine the features, capabilities, and benefits of comparable educational technologies you are either planning to incorporate into your educational program now or would consider as a potential future acquisition. To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to identify two similar educational technologies for comparison and the teaching and learning situations this type technology is best suited for. Requirements Compare two versions of a similar technology that can be used for teaching, learning, or assessment in nursing education. Then, determine which teaching and learning situations the technology is best suited for and how it can be incorporated into a specific nursing education program. For example: E-learning technologies, such as Storyline, Articulate, and Captivate. Technologies for presenting lectures or classroom activities remotely, such as Adobe Connect and GoToMeeting. Learning management systems (LMSs) for managing coursework, e-learning, and tracking learner progress, such as Brightspace, Taleo, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management, Health Stream, Net Learning. Online courserooms, such as Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle. Technologies for assessing learning outcomes, such as e-portfolios, testing software, and surveys. Technologies to enhance learner interactivity, such as gamification and virtual reality technologies. Presentation technologies, such as PowerPoint and Prezi. High-, medium-, and low-fidelity simulation equipment or software, such as simulation manikins and body-part models. GRADING RUBRIC • Impartially compares the features, capabilities, and benefits of similar educational technologies, focusing on the salient characteristics of each technology. Articulates one's assumptions underlying the comparison, and explicitly links those assumptions to their influence on decision making. o What characteristics or attributes of the technology are non-essential or have little or no effect on teaching and learning? o What evidence supports claims about the benefits of this technology? o What are the assumptions underlying your comparison? What influence do they have on decision making? • Explains the benefits and limitations of comparing similar educational technologies. Provides a cogent, perceptive assessment, drawing rational, fully justified conclusions informed by a thorough analysis of comparable technologies. • Determines which teaching and learning situations a selected educational technology is best suited for. Draws fully justified conclusions reflecting an accurate and perceptive assessment of effective technology use. • Explains how a selected teaching, learning, or assessment technology can be incorporated into a specific nursing education program. Provides an articulate, perceptive explanation that considers all aspects of the technology that will contribute to improved outcomes. o How will incorporation of this technology affect learning and performance? • Supports assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant, credible, and convincing evidence. Skillfully combines error-free source citations with a perceptive and coherent synthesis of the evidence. o Is your supporting evidence clear and explicit? o How or why does particular evidence support a claim? o Will your reader see the connection? o Did you summarize, paraphrase, and quote your sources appropriately? • Writes clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style; and ensures the main points, ideas, arguments, or propositions are well developed and engaging. o Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind. o Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements. DOCUMENT FORMAT Use the Comparing Technologies Template, linked in the Required Resources. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE Cite 5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your analysis.
