Description
Summary:Postsecondary institutions in a Canadian Eastern province closed campuses and moved online with the declaration of a provincial state of emergency in Mar 2020 related to the SARSCoV- 2 pandemic. Three university schools of nursing that offer the bachelor of science in nursing program on a tri-semester basis joined together shortly thereafter to investigate student and faculty experiences of learning and teaching online. With the suspension of clinical placement for student learners in most clinical practice areas, schools rapidly worked to rearrange course offerings to front load theory in the spring and summer semesters in an online environment and shift clinical practice to the fall semester, as well as adding virtual clinical simulation to help meet student learning outcomes. Here, Cobbett et al investigate student and faculty experiences during this swift pedagogical shift to immersion in the online environment during a global pandemic.
