Abstract

Do students want flexible delivery of their learning materials? Do they know and understand the benefits of a blended learning (flipped classroom) model of curriculum delivery? In 2016, the School of Nursing & Midwifery introduced a new a blended learning model, in part to increase student engagement, address low student attendance at lectures, and to allow flexibility for their busy student cohort. Studies suggest flipped/blended learning in nurse education can promote important capabilities for nursing students.

This digital poster reports on the early stages of an ongoing project, evaluating the student’s experience of the changed delivery mode. The feedback from an online survey of the students allowed identification of issues and showed students were appreciative of the flexibility the blended model allowed in their learning.
