Abstract

E-learning is rapidly growing as an alternative education method in nursing. The aim of the current study is to describe the platform used for nursing education in Sapienza University of Rome that implements an e-learning university course. This e-learning course in nursing is provided by the Unitelma platform. Through qualitative description, this study characterises the platform using descriptive data. Results recommend establishing more multimedia resources in response to the trend of incorporating multimedia items in student assessment to enhance its authenticity. Findings also show that the development of re-sources at Sapienza has focused on the core curriculum pertinent to learning outcomes for basic nursing education.
