Saddleback College, Mission Viejo, CA
Terri Whitt, EdD, RN, has created a web-based resource for nurses, nursing educators, and students which encourages sharing of knowledge and educational materials and supports the development of a learning community that fosters life-long learning. This project serves as a role model to the profession not only in providing open access to high quality resources that support development of nursing skills but also in the spirit of professional collegiality that it promotes. ALFA – Assisted Learning For ALL (ALFA) is a nursing procedure website offering a wide range of media teaching-learning resources available online or via podcast. This website is available at no cost. Designed to supplement classroom and skills lab instruction, the site provides faculty concise and realistic segments to use in instruction. Students can work together to quickly review sections of a procedure via .wmv on any computer or in the clinical setting as a podcast. The ability to access content in a mobile environment provides faculty an opportunity to maximize the ‘teachable moment’. The site also serves as a valuable resource to nurses at the bedside, providing opportunities to review skills and maintain clinical competencies. (http://www.saddleback.edu/alfa)
