The nursing crisis in the United States continues to intensify, with a projected shortage of 500,000 nurses by 2025. Compounding the problem? Recent major global disasters, humanitarian aid, pandemics and aging baby boomers, and the fact that nursing colleges across the country are finding it impossible to cover both the demand for classroom space and the demand from industry.
Enter Riverside Community College's School of Nursing. Several years ago the program added virtual classrooms and began using lecture capture to increase program enrollment without adding faculty. Unofficially dubbed the "PJs Program", the webcasted courses provide students the flexibility to continue their education without leaving work and ultimately prepare more nurses for advanced clinical practice than classroom instruction alone.
Join Stephen Ashby, the technical architect of Riverside's pioneering online nursing program, as he shares:
- How Riverside's use of Mediasite to automate lecture capture has helped the program thrive in spite of statewide budget cuts in education
- Faculty demand for teaching in the technology-enabled classrooms has outgrown supply
- His recommendations for how to replicate this program within your own college or university
