"The rise of online interactive educational programs has created a new mode of just-in-time learning for today’s students. Research suggests that online interactive education programs may be just as effective as traditional textbooks at supporting nursing school students throughout their academic careers, as well as on the NCLEX."

The Fall 2023 issue of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Leader to Leader publication features an article helping educators recognize the need for adopting more online interactive learning tools.

The 3-page feature was written by Strategic Nursing Advisor Beth Cusatis Phillips, PhD, RN, CNE, CHSE, and Vice President/Chief Nursing Officer Patty Knecht, PhD, RN, ANEF.

Titled "Engaging today’s learners: Innovative strategies for teaching nursing students," the article sources nearly a dozen references, It describes how educators must understand how students utilize technology, determine how to motivate them best, and leverage solutions to enhance and strengthen learning.

The authors state, "All of this will increase student engagement and, more importantly, it will fulfill their inherent need to use technology while being better prepared for nursing practice. By adapting to these fundamental changes, we can empower our students to grow and succeed as professional nurses."
