Abstract

Background: Nursing faculties need to develop digital competencies to effectively use information, communication, and technology-based nursing education.

Purpose: The study aimed to develop and apply a theory-guided faculty development program on digital teaching competencies.

Methods: A faculty development program was developed. Between March and April 2020, three five-hour web workshops participated by ninety-three faculty members were held. The program was assessed via mixed methods, combining satisfaction surveys post-workshop with content analysis of open-ended questionnaires to gauge participant evaluation of program content and learning experience.

Results: Participants were highly satisfied with the program contents and their opportunity for integrating digital technology into education and improving faculty proficiency in digital teaching technology.

Conclusions: The program provides faculties with the self-confidence and essential skills to teach students using information, communication, and technology-based nursing education by enhancing their digital teaching competencies. It is critical to integrate both digital proficiency and nursing practice education.

Keywords: Digital teaching competencies; Distance education; Nurse education; Nursing practice; Simulation.
