Abstract

The Virtual Clinical Experience Courseware was distributed to all Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) students enrolled in their first clinical course entitled Advanced Adult Health Nursing. In terms of cognitive strategies, the use of the courseware helped students integrate the concepts in practice and use critical thinking in making clinical decisions. The courseware, (with resource guidelines shown in the Appendices), also fostered positive attitudes and helped the students appreciate the subject matter better. Wider dissemination and testing of the courseware is needed to determine its impact on learning and behaviour outcomes and professional competencies.
