Professional development opportunities for nurses are increasingly being offered in the online environment and therefore it is imperative that learning designers, nurse educators and healthcare organisations consider how best to support staff to enable Registered Nurses to capitalise on the resources available. Research participants explored educat...

Technology-enhanced learning has been part of higher education health contexts for nearly three decades, but since the recent Covid-19 pandemic specific challenges emerged, requiring learning design reconfigurations to facilitate continuity of student learning. The pandemic calls for a deeper understanding of how technology can promote connections,...

The Activity-Centred Analysis and Design (ACAD) has been developed as a meta-theoretical framework for understanding and improving complex networked learning situations (Goodyear et al., 2021; Goodyear & Carvalho, 2014). ACAD helps to foreground two distinct moments related to the design of complex learning situations. The first entails advanced pl...

During the pandemic, the pivot to emergency remote teaching highlighted the depth and extent of inequalities, particularly in relation to access to resources and literacies, faced by higher education institutions. Imported solutions that failed to take into consideration the constraints and cultures of local contexts were less than successful. The...

The Activity-Centred Analysis and Design framework has been used to analyse and design a broad range of complex learning situations in universities, schools, museums, and informal settings. This workshop is an invitation to practically engage in innovative educational design, considering how an assemblage of elements – learning tasks, digital and m...

In Aotearoa New Zealand, undergraduate, professional health courses include social work, nursing, and biosciences courses that focus on learning how to support people with physical, mental, spiritual, and psychosocial/relational health and well-being concerns. Recently, the need for a nuanced understanding of how technologies might extend students’...

Since the turn of this century, much of the world has undergone tectonic socio technological change. Computers have left the isolated basements of research institutes and entered people’s homes. Network connectivity has advanced from slow and unreliable modems to high-speed broadband. Devices have evolved: from stationary desktop computers to ever-...

The global pandemic reached New Zealand in the middle of a teaching semester, calling educators to rapidly transition into a fully online teaching mode. Covid-19 brought fears for the unknown and required an abrupt shift, creating anxiety for academic staff, students and parents. Amidst this transition, educators had to quickly reconfigure their de...

Preparing undergraduates for their perioperative clinical placements has been shown to be a highly effective way of introducing students to clinical areas they may have limited exposure to. Perioperative placements will address the looming workforce shortfall by providing positive learning experiences that subsequently increase the student’s opport...

INTRODUCTION: Advanced technology in medical and pharmacology has increased surgical survival rates for transplant recipients. Therefore, post-transplant care is critical and tightly connected with key focuses on the recipient’s quality of life (QOL). Post-transplant QOL is multifaceted, encompassing morbidity and personal, social, familial and env...

This research demonstrates that cooperative inquiry (CI) offers authentic opportunities for academics to transform their teaching, paving the way for additional collaborative practices in higher education across a range of disciplines. Using data from cycles of action and reflection, a multidisciplinary group of seven tertiary teachers committed to...

Liver transplantation has been available in New Zealand since 1998 for people with acute or chronic liver failure, or primary liver cancer. While an interest in quality of life or health-related quality of life is evident in clinical paradigms and literature, research by recipients or inclusive of a recipient’s voice or perspective is limited acros...

Liver transplantation for people with acute, chronic liver failure or primary liver cancer has been available in New Zealand for nearly 20 years. In that time, very little research has been conducted by liver recipients or included their voice. This presentation reports on the qualitative interview recommendations of 17 liver transplant recipients...

Introduction: Increasingly, professional development is being offered in the online environment. Just because it works on paper does not mean it will be effective in cyberspace. Online learning designers, educators, trainers and organisations can make a significant contribution to providing a supportive learning environment for professional staff....

This presentation focuses on a co-operative inquiry research undertaken by a diverse group of academics in order to concentrate on effectiveness in teaching. We were guided by the initial question: “How can academics from various fields of expertise support each other in being innovative, creative and transformative in their teaching?” The purpose...
