Using Technology and Data to Support the Move to Competency-Based Education
Webinar Details
Transitioning to competency-based education (CBE) requires a new way of teaching and learning. Leveraging technology and data collection can be critical for an effective transition. The Essentials Technology Work Group was charged to develop recommendations regarding the use of technology within academic nursing to support the adoption of CBE. Medical education administrators Dr. Marc M. Triola and Dr. Janelle Sokolowich provide an overview of AACN’s new vision for an interoperable, integrated information system and the criteria for the development of technologies that can support your school’s efforts to implement the 2021 Essentials.
