Often students enter online programs with little or no technological preparedness especially the older generation students (Carruth et al., 2010). Todays' younger students are being raised in the technology world from the time they are old enough to handle the toys and learn while they grow, the older adults are having to learn all the latest technology at the time they decide to return to school. This blog will discuss the issue of catching up with technology for the adult learner returning to school using a distance program. Also the significance of the issue and strategies to monitor or resolve the issue from a nurse educator perspective will be reviewed. References for further reading will be provided.
