Abstract
Critical thinking and empathy are essential elements in attaining competencies expected of Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates. Our purpose is to describe the use of a continuing multimedia case study in a large online course, including the pedagogical framework, implementation, and impact on student learning. We adapted qualitative analysis strategies to thematically analyze data from course assignments to demonstrate evidence of the development of critical thinking and empathy. Students reported a variety of critical thinking skills acquired through continuous examination of patient problems and completion of case study-based tasks. Students described changes in their emotions and attitudes toward the older adult patient in the case study and the population represented with empathy as the dominant emotion. The use of a continuing multimedia case study provided a successful platform for enhancing the learning of didactic content and the development of critical thinking and empathy.
