UW-Madison to lead expansion of online health care education
The threat of national nurse shortages and the growing promise of convenient online learning, especially for working-adult students, are continuing to change the way nurses are educated. The UW-Madison School of Nursing is leading six nursing schools in a national project to take online education in health care to a higher level. The Nursing Education and Technology, or NEAT, project creates a nationwide team to identify common challenges in distance health care education and then to develop and test academic content "building blocks," or learning objects, that can be shared among different courses, institutions and educational settings. "The Internet and other educational options using technology are very appealing to people already in the workforce but interested in moving into health care or moving up in the health career they already have," says Jeannette McDonald, the NEAT project director at the UW-Madison School of Nursing.
