    Holistic approach to online learning: Providing a scaffold for learners
    (Flipped Learning Global, 17/07/2020) Green J; Burrow M
    The COVID-19 global pandemic necessitated rapid changes to teaching strategies in higher education. Moving an undergraduate nursing course from the traditional classroom to fully online created interesting challenges. Because much of our teaching content was already designed for the flipped learning environment (FLE), we were able to adapt to a virtual face-to-face (VFF) experience that reached every student with very little disruption to the FLE. To ensure a successful rapid pivot we prepared our students to ‘go live’ in our online classroom by offering a small, social, Virtual Happy Hour event for 112 students in the week prior to our classes resuming.

    How Batman saved the classroom
    (New Zealand Nurses Organisation, 1/02/2021) van der Krogt S; Green J; Manning C; Burrow M
    2020 was one of the most exceptional teaching years we have experienced. The pandemic and public health response severely disrupted all clinically-based teaching institutions around the world. Nursing schools everywhere were required to rapidly pivot their courses online to limit the disruption to teaching. This article highlights elements that can successfully engage nursing students in online learning. There is minimal literature discussing the need for a holistic teaching design that promotes a nonthreatening, learning environment and which encourages the free exchange of ideas and questions normally associated with face-to-face teaching. The online learning programme we designed at Massey University incorporates humour, game-based learning and consideration of students’ wellness. We believe this will be of interest to our nursing colleagues, as well as those in other professions.
