Audience: Prelicensure nursing students
My Role: Project Co-Designer & Nursing Subject Matter Expert
Setting: Nursing Skills Laboratory
Learning Need: Clinical skill competency and learner confidence
Solution: Technology-supported clinical skills learning
Learning Model: Learn • See • Practice • Prove • Do • Maintain
Methods: Demonstration • Simulation • Deliberate practice • Feedback • Self-evaluation
Evaluation: Competency performance and learner-confidence measures

The solution integrated SMART displays at patient-care stations within the nursing skills laboratory, allowing clinical demonstrations and instructional videos to be available where learners practiced.

Rather than using technology simply to deliver content, the design supported a progression from knowledge acquisition and observation to deliberate practice, competency demonstration, supervised performance, reflection, and continued skill development.

The project required collaboration beyond nursing faculty. Technology requirements, cost considerations, installation, infrastructure, and implementation involved coordination with campus Information Technology, Physical Plant, and other institutional stakeholders.

To strengthen clinical competency and confidence while providing learners with additional opportunities for observation, practice, feedback, reflection, and self-evaluation. The broader goal was to support safer clinical performance and patient care.
