INTRODUCTION
Academic nurse educators serve an important role as leaders and agents of change within an organization, often a school of nursing. Many of the challenges in nursing education are the result
of trends, clinical demands, and developments in educational technology in higher education in
the 21st century. Within nursing education, there are also evolving technologies in healthcare, an expanding scope of practice, and legal-ethical issues, which all affect the quality and safety of
patient care. Nursing program curricula must be continually revised to reflect these changes and ensure graduates from nursing programs are able to successfully enter the job market.
For this task, you will propose integrating technology–virtual reality simulation into the
curriculum to benefit an academic nursing education program. The change will be implemented in the course “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health.” You will use five
peer-reviewed articles published within the last five years to review current and emerging
educational technologies recommended by professional organizations. Then you will use this
information to identify and propose the new technology integration to support the curricular change. An analysis of organizational readiness for change to “The Role of the BSN Nurse in
Promoting Community Health” should also be included.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the
submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
Sources used to support this assessment must be published within the previous 10 years, with the exception of legacy and seminal sources. Please carefully review the rubric for any exceptions.
Develop a formal proposal using the attached “C922 Curriculum Technology Proposal Template” that integrates the chosen emerging technology (virtual reality simulation) for a curriculum
change into the course, “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health.”
A. Write an executive summary (at least 1 page) that includes a synopsis of the key points of your proposal.
Note: The executive summary is written after you have completed your proposal.
B. Complete a literature review of your curriculum technology proposal (virtual reality
simulation) on the use of technology in education by doing the following:
1. Complete the literature review summary table in the attached “C922 Curriculum Technology Proposal Template” using five peer-reviewed articles published within the last five
years that support your curriculum technology proposal. Include your literature review
summary table as Table 1, and reference Table 1 in the narrative where the literature review findings are discussed.
2. Synthesize your literature review findings, including all five peer-reviewed articles you reviewed in part B1 and how the articles support your specific technology proposal. Draw
connections between similar articles and highlight any dissimilar or contradictory findings, if applicable.
3. Based on your literature review, discuss the need for further research or development
relative to the proposed technology.
C. Complete a needs assessment and examine the current technology challenges by doing
the following:
1. Describe the process used to conduct a curricular technology needs assessment using a gap analysis as outlined in Table 2 in the attached “C922 Curriculum Technology
Proposal Template.”.
a. Identify three academic stakeholders (e.g., faculty, students, preceptors, IT personnel) and their roles in the gap analysis.
b. Explain methods of collaboration with stakeholders in interprofessional teams and
why the methods would be effective.
2. Compare two current or emerging technologies by describing the advantages and disadvantages of each as they apply to “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community
Health.”
3. Discuss three challenges with the current state of technology in the course “The Role of
the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health,” including examples for each challenge.
4. Explain how you will overcome the three challenges from part C3.
5. Summarize your findings of the curricular technology needs assessment.
a. Describe the collaboration with your stakeholders to reach a consensus on one
technology from part C2.
D. Identify the emerging technology (virtual reality simulation) and complete a force field analysis to identify forces for and against your curriculum technology proposal using Table 3 in
the attached “C922 Curriculum Technology Proposal Template.”
1. Collaborate with your preceptor and stakeholders to identify factors that could affect
the adoption of your proposal by doing the following:
a. Analyze two internal and two external organizational factors that may facilitate or
impede implementation.
b. Describe three forces that will facilitate the integration of the emerging technology
identified in the course “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health.”
c. Describe three forces that will impede the integration of the emerging technology
identified in the course “The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health.”
2. Identify a change theory appropriate for your technology integration and adoption.
a. Justify the selected change theory from part D2.
b. Describe potential resistance and barriers to the technology change.
c. Discuss how you plan to implement the change theory identified in part D2.
E. Write a conclusion focusing on the impact and significance of your proposal by doing the
following:
1. Discuss the purpose and rationale of your proposal.
2. Explain how your proposal fills the identified curriculum needs gap.
3. Discuss why implementing this proposal is significant and the impact it will have on the broader field of nursing.
F. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted,
paraphrased or summarized.
G. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
