Description
Summary:Background: Student engagement is enhanced with applied learning opportunities. This study describes the experience of nurse educator students using video technology for teaching and advocacy. Method: Convergent mixed-methods combining narrative reflections with usability scores were used to describe the values and challenges of the applied learning experience. Results: Preassignment, participants focused on the value and challenges of using video technology. Postassignment, participants concentrated on the value and challenges of practicing presentation skills. Overall value of the assignment themes included enhancing student experience, streamlining content using video, and critical reviews of presentations. Overall challenges of the assignment themes included using technology, presenting, and course instruction. Usability scores averaged 2.21, demonstrating a high level of usability. Conclusion: This applied learning opportunity was valuable to nurse educator student participants. Challenges with technology and creating the presentations provided the participants with opportunities for growth. Measuring reflections provided useful information for future iterations of applied learning experiences. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(8):457–460.]
