ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new teaching approach designed to help master's degree nursing students improve their skills in finding and using information online. The program combines both online and in-person teaching methods, using a framework that connects technology, teaching strategies, and course content. Students will take surveys to assess their understanding, evaluate how helpful the resources are (like videos and PowerPoint presentations), and provide feedback on their satisfaction with the course. The goal is to create a supportive learning environment that enhances their abilities in research, document management, and academic writing.

To be eligible for this study, students must be enrolled in the nursing master's program at the participating university and have completed related prerequisite courses. They also need to have regular internet access and the necessary technology to engage in the online parts of the course. However, those who have already taken a similar course or have significant experience in this area may not qualify. Participants can expect a blend of online and classroom activities, along with assessments to track their progress and satisfaction throughout the course.
