Preparing the next generation: Flexible delivery of clinically relevant health professional education

Abstract

Increasingly eLearning, and multimedia resources are blending with other forms of clinical education to provide experiences that maximise both foundational learning for Health Professionals, and learning-readiness for the application of this knowledge in clinical areas. Academics within the School of Nursing and Midwifery work with a health-focused team of flexible delivery specialists to develop resources for a diverse student group. Best practice instructional design, experienced clinical practitioners, and the latest technology have allowed the school to bridge the gap. This presentation will showcase a range of eLearning activities developed for an undergraduate curriculum delivered in a multi-campus environment. A commitment to using technology such as targeted audio and video, 3D animation, and interactive flash programming to support pedagogy, provides an opportunity to deliver high quality learning activities.
