Game Changers: Technology Approaches in Higher Education
Higher education is being transformed by new approaches and strategies across the educational enterprise – all connected to and dependent on technology. New models and technologies allow us to rethink many of the premises of education—location and time, credits and credentials, knowledge creation and sharing. Consider various models and systems designed to enhance higher education, and identify approaches that could enrich your institution.

Welcome and Opening Program Session
‘Disruptive Innovation’: Thinking Differently About Higher Education
How can nursing academic executives make the educational process more efficient, enable students to learn more effectively, and better ensure that desired outcomes are accomplished? How do we help faculty shake up the traditional approaches and move increasingly toward student-centered learning? What technologies might be most useful without sacrificing educational quality or academic rigor? Join a non-traditional thinker to gain insights and strategies to galvanize nursing education toward the future.
Speaker: Michael Horn (invited), Executive Director of Education, Innosight Institute, San Mateo, CA and co-author of Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns

Closing Program Session
Clinical Simulation: Issues, Outcomes, Challenges, and Future Directions
As the use of clinical simulation expands, questions increasingly are raised about its use to conserve faculty resources, whether simulation should replace traditional clinical hours, which models are preferable, and how much simulation is appropriate. Learn results from a recent Robert Wood Johnson Foundation research study that addressed these issues as well as the impact of simulation on clinical teaching at two member schools. Benefit from an overview of the issues, challenges, and additional research on clinical simulation, and consider how nurse educators can embrace clinical simulation as an effective means to educate the nursing workforce in the future.
Speakers: Hila Richardson, DrPH, Clinical Professor, Undergraduate Program, College of Nursing, New York University, New York, NY; Pamela Jeffries, PhD, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, School of Nursing, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; and Lloyd A. Goldsamt, PhD, Evaluator, National Development and Research Institutes, Inc., New York, NY
