| During the fall of 2006, almost 3.5 million students were taking at least one online course. Eighty-three percent of institutions with online offerings anticipate their online enrollment will continue to increase over the next year. Currently, online nursing programs exist for undergraduate, RN-BSN, refresher courses, graduate, and doctoral programs. Active learning strategies such as group learning are increasingly being utilized in nursing education. This research is a phenomenological qualitative study describing nursing students' experiences of group projects in the online learning environment. The data were collected by unstructured telephone interviews. Themes were extracted from the analyzed interviews. This study may assist in the development and facilitation of online group projects in the future. |
