Effective development and utilization of self-learning modules.
This article provides guidelines to assist the nurse educator in designing self-learning modules for appropriate topics and learners, in creating the module, and in developing tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the module. By following the guidelines presented, the nurse educator can create cost-effective learning opportunities for professional nurses. Utilization of self-learning modules encourages nurses to be self-directed and allows the nurse educator to be the resource rather than the source of learning.
