E-learning: a virtual challenge for educators.

Abstract

This article examines e-learning in nurse education, specifically in learning disability nurse education, exploring its anticipated impact and discussing the importance of managing its implementation. Ways of utilising new technologies for the benefit of nursing students are analysed. The article also looks at how nurses' use of e-learning can help people with learning disabilities and cautions against relying on an overly technological approach in the humanistic fields of education and nursing.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
