“…Human resources are therefore lessened accordingly in an online learning environment. Numerous international research works (Burgess &Russell, 2003, Edvardsson andOskarsson, 2009;Tait, 2015) surveying the learning behavior and achievements of overseas learners, who graduate in distance education, confirm a positive outcome satisfying by both learners and their organizations. Holly (2009) & Siritarungsri & Suvannasamrit (2011) indicate the use of new technology in a distance learning system certainly assists student, stimulating a virtual classroom and sparing student"s study costs.…”

Over the past decade of nursing shortage crisis in Thailand, only Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU), a public university, has provided a distance learning program to promote graduate nurses who wish to work and study concurrently. It, however, is still doubtful whether or not STOU graduate nurses identity suits the 21 st century nursing criteria. The purpose of this mixed method research were: 1) to study identity of graduates from the Master of Nursing Science Program in Nursing Administration at STOU, and 2) to explore potential guidelines for the distance learning curriculum development in the Master of Nursing Science Program in the 21st century. The sample comprised of: (1) 268 graduate nurses from the program during academic year 2007-2014, 132 co-workers, and 130 supervisors, and (2) 15 representatives of the aforementioned groups, and (3) 13 academic experts. The research tool was a questionnaire relating to 7 identity characteristics of master graduates. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, T-Test, and contents analysis. The research results are as follows. 1) The graduate nurses' identity is being self-directed learning, applying knowledge into work development, using PUPIL: International Journal of Teaching, Education and Learning ISSN 2457-0648 Available Online at: http://grdspublishing.org/ 21 information and communication technology (ICT) in nursing administration to improve wellbeing of the people. 2) To add the course contents intended to improve communication competency, particularly English, in the areas of listening, reading, writing and speaking regarding innovation and technology for research in nursing administration. Up to this point, the identity characteristics appropriately serve to graduate characteristics in the 21st century.To strengthen international competency of nurses, it is therefore necessary to include more English courses in the distance learning curriculum.

“…En primer lugar, la estrategia didáctica es entendida como la planificación de la forma como se llevará a cabo el proceso formativo y comprende un diagnóstico de la realidad, la definición de objetivos, la selección de métodos didácticos, las tareas por realizar, las actividades, la planeación de los recursos y la forma de evaluación del proceso formativo (Burgess y Russell, 2003;Cid-Sabucedo, Pérez-Abellás y Zabalza, 2009b;González y Ramírez, 2010).…”

“…Furthermore, the concept of the traditional classroom is evolving, with the term learning space now being used to convey the wide variety of spaces, both real and virtual, where learning can occur. Since the 1990's the concept of TEL has become a prominent part of the educational landscape, with the benefits of utilising technology for learning and instruction being noted (Burgess & Russell, 2003;Kruse, 2004). The internet has not only changed the way we communicate but also the ease at which we can access information: It 'has enabled a knowledge-building and knowledge-sharing system… where learning with and from each other is both supported and facilitated' (Ertmer & Newby, 2013, p. 66).…”

(2016) The creation of a training model to support decisionmaking of emergency management practitioners: a design research study, Journal of Decision Systems, 25:sup1, 558-565, DOI: 10.1080/12460125.2016 Errors in decision-making worldwide highlight the need for training in decision-making. The unpredictability and complexity of emergencies makes training in every possible emergency impossible. Rather than training in specific examples of major emergency events, training in a decision-making skill set will provide a method of response that will be transferable to all emergencies. Various scenarios will support the training as a decision needs a context for application. The resulting educational tool will focus on emergency services at the strategic and tactical levels in the response stage of an emergency. The continual engagement of stakeholder should result in a purpose-built training course. Design science research approach will be utilised, investigating connections between theories of cognitive load and expert performance. Key aspects of the developed training course will include the concepts of metrics, deliberate practice and proficiency based progression, to ensure an appropriate training programme rather than a mere educational experience.
