This course consists of a series of modules, each designed to address specific learning outcomes. Course content will be a blend of scheduled meetings (synchronous activity) as well as assignment of work that does not require specific meeting times (asynchronous activity). All you need is a laptop or desktop computer, access to the internet, and a desire to learn. For browsers, we recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. For audio, you may wish to use a basic headset with a built-in microphone. A headset is not mandatory but it can be help other people to hear your voice clearly and it can reduce echo or background noise for other people. Using a headset will ensure the best audio in a session. It is also helpful to use the mute button unless you are talking. Any basic headset with a built-in microphone will suffice.
This course provides an opportunity for students to explore the philosophical (ontological, epistemological, and moral) foundations of knowledge for nursing practice. In this course, time and effort is needed to critically think about what is being read and how it can be applied personally, professionally and societally. I look forward to our shared learnings as we embark on this philosophical journey together!
