BECOMING an “Onliner”: Students’ Perceptions of Moving from Traditional to Virtual Learning (original) (raw)

Online Journal of Nursing Informatics

Abstract

Online learning is the new and highly coveted pedagogical neighborhood where institutions, educators, and students have been moving. Transitioning from the traditional face-to face to the virtual classroom involves acquiring new skills in multiple domains. As experience is gained in online learning, skill mastery often occurs across the novice to expert spectrum. Based on a qualitative study of the experiences of R.N. to B.S.N. nursing students, the theme of “Becoming” an online learner is extracted and described in detail. The significance of using “cybergogical” approaches to ensure a smooth move to virtual learning is emphasized. Implications for teaching and learning strategies during this enculturation process are described.
