Descripció
Resum:	According to Wagner (2005): From toddlers to seniors, people are increasingly connected and are digitally communicating with each other in ways that would have been impossible to imagine only a few years ago. According to Alexander (2004): The combination of wireless technology and mobile computing is resulting in escalating transformations of the educational world, (p. 29) The use of mobile devices to support teaching and learning is not a new concept, but educators need time to reflect on this changing context and explore its potential for teaching and learning (Ayers, 2004; Blocher, Echols, de Montes, Willis, & Tucker, 2003; Heimlich & Norland, 2002; Martens & Stangvik-Urban, 2002; Moss, 2004; Nuhfer, Krest, & Handelsman, 2003; Pratt, 2002; Williams & Calvillo, 2002). With the development and use of new strategies, practices, applications, and resources in technology, the teaching and learning context is shifting. Nurse educators are challenged to create instructional strategies that appeal to the newer generation of students and have the potential to enhance learning. Effective learning programs for these students require new digital communication skills, new pedagogies, and new practices. Nursing students should not be seeking the right answer as much as they should be seeking appropriate information and then developing approaches to issues or resolutions for problems. The focus of the teaching and learning context is shifting from the individual to the group, with the purpose of constructing new knowledge from available information. This article discusses the value of WebQuest activities as inquiry-oriented strategies and the process of adapting the WebQuest format for the development of a strategy called NursingQuest.
