The impact of active learning on nursing students' clinical success.

Active, cooperative learning is a method to teach the critical thinking skills necessary for the transfer and use of classroom-acquired knowledge in the clinical setting. Yet many nursing educators continue to use teacher-centered educational approaches while identifying an array of barriers for the voiced preference for student-centered education. Using holistic, active cooperative learning strategies (faculty role modeling, student interactive and group learning, and group testing) within a didactic class, the authors found differences in the average clinical grade (87.03) when compared to the average clinical grade for students who had been taught using a lecture approach (84.19).

Lessons learned: research with rural Mexican-American women.

The authors share lessons learned from 5 community-based research studies involving rural Mexican-American women. The 10 lessons revolved around compensation, confidentiality, recruitment, crossing paths, mailings, locating people, participation/attendance, translation, children, and closure. Despite their clinical knowledge and previous experiences in service with this population, researchers found recruiting and retaining participants and data collection far more challenging than expected. This article is significant as it illustrates the extensive time, expense, and effort required to conduct research with a rural population experiencing health disparities. Recommendations are provided to assist in planning and designing community-based and culturally sensitive research that has realistic time and budget allowances.

Licensing web-based nursing programs, courses, and course materials.

With the advent of the digital information age, schools of nursing are developing and using web-based programs, courses, and course materials to meet students' needs for access and high-quality learning experiences. In an attempt to maximize scant resources, including faculty, many schools are seeking grant funding, joining consortia, or forming partnerships that require sharing of web-based course materials. Entering such collaborative arrangements usually requires licensing agreements to transfer intellectual capital. This article explains licensing and the related concepts of intellectual property, copyright, and technology transfer. It also identifies the advantages and disadvantages of licensing and describes a licensing process.
