There is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the programmatic integration of social media into health sciences education. Networked participatory scholarship theory supports the use of social media in higher education; associated benefits include promoting student engagement and real-time dissemination. This article describes the integration of social media use in a graduate online doctoral nursing program; specifically, blogging, microblogging, and ePortfolio integration are presented. The purpose is to improve students' utilization of social media as a professional tool.
Crisis breeds innovation and creativity. The COVID-19 pandemic shows where policy-related gaps exist. Three policy exemplars linked to COVID-related changes faced by professional development educators and leaders are presented: broadband Internet availability for training and development, information technology infrastructure, and scope of practice expansion.
