"Online Nursing Education: A Collaborative Approach will address theoretical and transformative approaches to online nursing education. The goal is to expand on what has been written about the theoretical approaches to online education by making a deeper connection to the application of learning theory to the practice of online teaching. The authors' experiences as online learners and educators have taught them that the emphasis in the literature and in practice is often related to technology and cost as drivers of online education, as opposed to being driven by educational theory, best practices in online education, and learner needs"-- Provided by publisher.
