Digitalisation of Nursing and Nurse Education

Abstract

<p>Digitalization sets competence requirements for both nursing and teaching, hence, nurse educators need to master the digitalization of both fields. The specific competences required of educators in digitalization have been established on European level (European Commission [EC], 2021; Redecker, 2017). Educators need to be professionally engaged to utilize digital resources. Furthermore, they need to be competent in providing teaching and learning through digital environments and using digital teaching and learning resources and be well acquainted with digital assessment methods as well (Saaranen et al., 2021). Educators seek to facilitate their digital learning to empower the learners in digital competence (Redecker, 2017). However, digitalization in nursing, is a complex issue which requires attention already during nursing education.<br></p>
