Attending seminar at UiS on web-based bachelor in nursing

This Thursday I attended a full-day seminar at Department of Health Studies, University of Stavanger, on the web-based bachelor in nursing. The program included evaluation internal and external (involving Heather Wharrad of the University of Nottingham), and discussion of future revisions etc. There was no general agreement among the seminar participants as to he value of web-based teaching, but influential voices call for implementing at least some web-based methods even in the stationary bachelor (which has almost ten times as many students). One of the issues which deserve further discussion in my opinion is whether the e-compendiums (interactive PDFs) in effect replace compulsory readings, and how they can be improved so as to stimulate critical reflection.
