Aims

NYCNECT was designed to transform teaching and learning in nursing and health professions education by:

  • Supporting the sharing and dissemination of expertise and resources in learner-centered instructional strategies through a multi-institution collaborative framework involving 13 CUNY schools of nursing and health professions programs
  • Preparing CUNY health professions educators, including part-time clinical adjuncts, to use culturally competent simulated learning, informatics, and telehealth in their teaching
  • Demonstrating evidence-based education using technology, including the creation of learning environments that promote active, collaborative learning and knowledge creation that incorporate 21st century literacies (information, digital, visual)
