Nursing faculty members Susan Gallagher-Lepak and Janet Reilly, in collaboration with Cheryl M. Killion from Case Western Reserve University, have published an article titled “Are Virtual Classrooms Colorblind?” in the March 15 issue of the online Journal of Professional Nursing. (It will be published in hardcopy form in the July-August 2015 issue.) The article explains that e-learning, becoming increasingly prevalent in nursing education, provides education opportunities for all students; the article explores issues of availability to students, usage, quality of e-learning and the extent to which culture has been integrated into online learning. The article also explains the format and design of E-learning that have historically been most successful.
