Technology

One of the key elements of successful curriculum implementation is the integration of technology. The use of Learning Management Systems (LMS), simulation technologies, and other educational tools can support both teaching and assessment. According to McDonald (2018), technology can enhance the delivery of the curriculum by providing more engaging learning experiences, increasing student interaction, and allowing for real-time feedback. For instance, virtual simulations allow students to practice clinical skills in a controlled environment, helping them gain confidence before working with real patients.

In addition, leadership in implementing these technologies is essential. Leaders should ensure that faculty are trained to use the technology effectively and provide ongoing support to troubleshoot issues as they arise. The integration of technology also plays a crucial role in curriculum evaluation by providing valuable data on student performance, which can be used to benchmark the success of the curriculum (McDonald, 2018).

McDonald (2020) explains that performance assessments, student surveys, faculty feedback, and clinical evaluation forms are useful measures of success. Additionally, metrics such as graduation rates, NCLEX-RN pass rates, and post-graduation employment statistics can be used to assess the long-term effectiveness of the curriculum (McDonald, 2018).
