End-User Training Requirements

End-users are the ultimate users of a technology or protocol (Flanders et al., 2019).

In this context, the end-users are the nursing staff.

Currently, the end-users are not familiar with telehealth educational technology.

The end-users are expected to use the telehealth technology effectively in their periodic educational programs (Flanders et al., 2019).

The end-users will require regular training on the use of telehealth technology (Galiatsatos et al., 2020).

Training will include the various types of telehealth technological tools, such as video conferencing.

Evaluation

The effectiveness of the implemented new technology can be evaluated using various indicators.

They include:

Nursing staff attendance to the educational programs (Garber & Gustin, 2022).

The time required to complete training programs (Hughes 2019).

Competency assessment (Garber & Gustin, 2022).

Satisfaction of end-users

Satisfaction of other stakeholders, such as the members of the administration (Garber & Gustin, 2022).

Assessment 4 Instructions: Vila Health: Implementing New Educational Technology
PRINT

Develop and record an 8-10-slide, asynchronous, audiovisual presentation to executive leaders of your plan for implementing the proposed educational technology change detailed in the needs assessment and impact statement you completed in Assessments 1 and 2. In addition, develop a detailed outline of your implementation plan as a supplement to your presentation.

Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

The incorporation of technology into educational settings is a learned skill, and nurse educators must have a thorough understanding of a technology’s capabilities, benefits, and use. In nursing and health care, the use of technology is no longer an option (Axley, 2008). Nursing educators recognize the need for technology and are taking a proactive role in its adoption and use in teaching and learning. The use of technology in academic settings mirrors the technology that is being used in practice areas.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop and present a plan for implementing a proposed educational technology change.
