ncorporating Technology in Community-Based Learning
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s
easy to say “It’s not my child, not my community, not my
world, not my problem.” Then there are those who see the need
and respond. I consider those people my heroes.

Mr. Rogers, American educator and television host
Nurses hold great power both inside and outside of clinical
settings. Patients and communities rely on nurses for
information, care, and strategic leadership. As such, nurse
educators must equip their students with the knowledge, skills
and attitudes necessary for successful interactions with local
and global communities. Since bridging the gap between
academia and authentic experience can be difficult to
accomplish inside the classroom, many universities have
incorporated service learning into their curriculum. Service
learning, a type of experiential learning, allows nursing students
to collaborate with geographic (location-based) and functional
(health-based) communities. Many times, this collaboration
allows nursing students to examine the external factors that are
impacting patient education and health. Technology, a generally
positive external factor, has had an increased emphasis in these
service learning experiences.
In this Discussion, you use the scenario provided below to
imagine that you are involved with a service learning project
that uses technology to address community-based learning
needs.

2. Scenario:
This semester, you are taking a course that has a service
learning component. During the first week of the class, you
selected your community-based population and eagerly set out
to make a difference. Over the next few weeks, you interacted
with patients and documented their medical questions and health
concerns. You also met with nursing professionals to hear their
accounts of working with this specific community of patients.
Upon personal reflection, you have noticed that not only has
your empathy for this community increased but so has your
awareness and self-confidence. As you come closer to the end
of your semester and thus your final project, you meet with your
instructor to discuss expectations. Your instructor acknowledges
your hard work and commends you for the reputation that you
have built in such a short amount of time. She feels that you
have really become close to this community and as such, would
like your final project to be a PowerPoint presentation that
highlights the learning needs of the community. In your
presentation, she would like you to incorporate a technology
that could be adopted into a new community-based program. As
you thank your instructor for the opportunity, she hands you a
document that outlines your PowerPoint expectations.
To prepare
Reflect on the health-centered learning needs of patients in your
community, communities with which you are familiar, or
communities abroad. Consider not only patients grouped by
geographic location, but also those that represent a functional
community, such as expectant mothers or patients with breast
cancer or muscular dystrophy.
Reflect on the mobile applications and social networking sites

3. you have used for both personal and professional reasons. How
might these technologies help to address patient learning needs?
Select either a geographic community or functional community
to further investigate.
Using the websites in this week’s Learning Resources and your
own scholarly research, identify specific learning needs of your
selected community of patients. The learning need that you
select might be associated with a health concern, preventative
care practices, health management, or basic patient education.
Browse the Internet to select a mobile application, social
networking site, or other technology that might be appropriate
for your patient community. Once selected, save pictures,
videos, and/or capture screenshots that highlight the benefits of
this technology.
Review the section
Guidelines for PowerPoint
in Chapter 8 of the Herrman course text.
Describue how you would construct a PowerPoint that explains
the following:
Learning needs of the community, as well as their relevance
(i.e. why does this matter? Why should patients and nurses care
to address this learning need?)
A mobile application (i.e. handheld tablet or smart phone) or
social media website that could help to address this need and
why
Suggestions for using this technology
