Abstract
Aim: This scoping study aimed to identify the applications for VoiceThread in nursing education.
Background: VoiceThread can facilitate collaboration through asynchronous sharing of presentations, images, and videos. To date, no knowledge synthesis exists to inform nurse educators' use of this technology.
Method: Using the Updated Methodological Guidance for the Conduct of Scoping Reviews, relevant published articles and gray literature were identified through a standardized search and selection process, followed by data synthesis.
Results: Thirty-two sources described applications including student presentations, asynchronous discussions, case studies, and instructor lectures. VoiceThread is well accepted by students and faculty with few barriers to its use. There is limited scientific rigor in studies that measured efficacy; most sources did not evaluate the efficacy of VoiceThread.
Conclusion: Considering its many applications, more evidence is needed about the effectiveness of VoiceThread in nursing education.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
