Nursing faculty are charged with continually updating classroom learning activities to meet the rapidly changing needs of the current student population. One method to help meet this demand is the use of electronic audience response systems (EARS) such as Poll Everywhere and other types of clickers. EARS are programs that can be embedded in the presentation software and allow for interactive learning in the classroom for a multigenerational application. One example includes the use of EARS to engage learners when teaching APGAR assignment for newborn content. A scenario can be posted in the presentation with essential information needed to assign an APGAR score. The students can read the scenario and then provide a score via the EARS. The class can see the range of answers, which provides the opportunity for a robust group discussion about the thought process toward the correct answer. Another example involves the use of EARS to help students actively identify the priority for patient assessment. For example, a scenario can be given with multiple patient descriptions with students using the EARS to identify which patient they would assess from first to last. Students can rate their answers via the EARS, which can promote discussion among the class about critical concepts of patient prioritization that are often confusing. This method can also be used in online environments by giving students flexible, assigned time slots to answer the question and deliberate their answer choices either in a synchronous video chat session or through an asynchronous online discussion board. EARS can be used in a wide range of nursing courses to promote active learning and discussion on specific nursing concepts for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
