Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: This article describes the collaborative development of an online orientation for students entering a doctoral nursing education program. Faculty and staff from the school of nursing, university library, and other academic support services worked together to design the orientation course materials, learning activities, and assessments, resulting in a cohesive, active-learning experience for students. As a result, returning adult learners were better prepared to begin their online doctoral studies.
