Assess The Impact Of Research On Online Education

The use of online education is rapidly increasing in various spheres, such as theology and medicine (Hockridge 2013; Holland et al. 2013). Medical colleges and universities have also started using online resources in the nurses` education. Duration of scholarship is short for nurses while their role in hospitals is significant. Online study can give additional knowledge and experience for nurses. For example, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (2014) offers their students online programs for Masters in Health Systems Management.

(2011), and Dyjur et.al (2011) wrote articles about the use of the Internet resources to improve nurses’ education.

Finally, the significance of online education in other research can be seen from the second article. Yousey used online study to demonstrate the importance of unfolding case study (2013). It shows that online education can be considered as a useful tool in academic sector and the nurses’ education can be conducted via the Internet. These facts indicate the high level of independence and professionalism in the sphere of the nurses` online
