Abstract

Faculty development programs in nursing, as well as in other disciplines, are needed to respond to changing expectations about the quality of undergraduate education, student populations, decreasing resources, and widespread use of technology in education. Problems facing new and senior faculty center on these changing demands. Preparing faculty to use technology in teaching is especially important. The problem of diminishing resources for faculty development must be balanced with the overwhelming need for faculty education in this changing environment.
