The minute paper: a quick guide to assessing student learning
Article Abstract:
Increasing numbers in nurse education classes make formal teaching methods more common. This situation decreases the potential to encourage deeper thinking in students and to check understanding. A possible remedy for this situation is the minute paper. Students complete a questionnaire at the end of each teaching session. They may comment on the most useful aspect of the session, on points which remain unclear, and raise any other issues. Lecturers respond to the comments at the beginning of the next teaching session which means they can address misconceptions quickly and give efficient feedback.

Distance no object for learning and treatment
Article Abstract:
The Institute of Telemedicine and Telecare at the Queen's University, Belfast, is looking into the application of video technology for nursing and midwifery. Telemedicine is based on the medical model focusing on diagnoses, treatment and cure, while telecare could enable nurses to widen their scope of professional practice. They could gain access to specialist information allowing diagnostic expertise to be used in the home.
