Abstract
Mobile applications (apps) to train health professionals is gaining
momentum as the benefits of mobile learning (mLearning) are becoming apparent
in complex clinical environments. However, most educational apps are generic,
off-the-shelf pieces of software that do not take into consideration the unique
needs of nursing students. The proposed study will apply a user-centred design
process to create a tailored mobile app for nursing students to learn and apply
clinical skills in practice. The app will be piloted and evaluated to understand how
nursing students use mobile technology in clinical settings to support their learning
and educational needs.
