title: "Well, was it worth it?" The value of teletutorials for bachelor of nursing students.
abstract: The Deakin University Faculty of Nursing conducts a Bachelor of Nursing degree which is available via the distance education mode. The faculty has as its central focus the value of nursing practice and espouses a belief in students' active learning. This paper examines the use of teletutorials as a process for realising the philosophy of the faculty in relation to students' learning outcomes. Although expensive in terms of financial and human resources, teletutorials bridged the gap between the faculty's philosophical statements and students' perceptions and needs.
