Instructional Technologies in Health Education and Allied Disciplines (Hardcover)

Instructional technologies used to be optional and supplemental pedagogical tools until the global health crisis of 2020 compelled education systems to rely on digital devices and services to guarantee academic continuity. Suddenly, the contemporary principles and practices utilized in delivering health education curricula were insufficient and ineffective. Acknowledging the vital role of technology in shaping the future of education, there is now a greater demand to foster innovative interventions and continuous improvement in strategies, methodologies, and systems to empower learners, educators, and leaders in the digital age. Instructional Technologies in Health Education and Allied Disciplines provides comprehensive coverage of innovative methods and strategies to produce the next generation of health professionals. The book lays the groundwork for an implementable teaching and learning model that facilitates basic knowledge acquisition, enhances perceptual variation, improves skill coordination, and develops a scientific and technological mindset. Covering key topics such as gamification, telehealth, and robotics, this reference work is ideal for healthcare professionals, nurses, administrators, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
