NUR 649E Week 6:

Question 1
How might quality assessment in distance education differ from quality assessment in a traditional classroom setting?

How?

Question 2=
Provide an example of a societal trend that will likely impact nursing education and patient education. Provide a multidisciplinary strategy that would maximize the positive impact the trend will have. Numerous examples are available; therefore, it is not appropriate to repeat one that has already been provided unless approved by the instructor. When responding to a post, provide feedback on the suggested strategy and add an additional strategy that may be effective.
