As student demographics change and distance educational technology continues to evolve,
faculty teaching advanced psychiatric-mental health nursing are attempting to meet
the needs of students at distant sites through telecommunications. Graduate education
in psychiatric-mental health nursing at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing
has used distance education technology since 1994. The use of technology, such as
interactive television, audio and audio/video telephone conferencing, facsimile, and
electronic mail to teach has been exciting and challenging. This article discusses
challenges related to connectedness, confidentiality, and communication; describes
approaches to address these challenges; and identifies student, faculty, and environmental
attributes that help make teaching with this technology successful.
