The delivery of nurse education has changed radically in the past two decades. Increasingly, nurse educators are using new technology in the classroom to enhance their teaching and learning. One recent technological development to emerge is the user-generated content website YouTube. Originally YouTube was used as a repository for sharing home-made videos, more recently online content is being generated by political parties, businesses and educationalists. We recently delivered a module to undergraduate student nurses in which the teaching and learning were highly populated with YouTube resources. We found that the use of YouTube videos increased student engagement, critical awareness and facilitated deep learning. Furthermore, these videos could be accessed at any time of the day and from a place to suit the student. We acknowledge that there are some constraints to using YouTube for teaching and learning particularly around the issue of unregulated content which is often misleading, inaccurate or biased. However, we strongly urge nurse educators to consider using YouTube for teaching and learning, in and outside the classroom, to a generation of students who are native of a rapidly changing digital world.
在过去的二十年中，护士教育的教学方式发生了根本性的变化。越来越多的护士教育工作者在课堂上使用新技术来增强教学效果。最近出现的一项技术发展是用户生成内容网站 YouTube。最初，YouTube 被用作分享自制视频的存储库，最近，政党、企业和教育工作者也在网上发布内容。我们最近为本科护生开设了一门课程，其中大量使用了 YouTube 资源。我们发现，使用 YouTube 视频增加了学生的参与度、批判性意识，并促进了深度学习。此外，这些视频可以在一天中的任何时间、从任何适合学生的地方访问。我们承认，在使用 YouTube 进行教学时存在一些限制，特别是在内容不受监管的问题上，这些内容往往是误导性的、不准确的或有偏见的。然而，我们强烈敦促护士教育工作者考虑在课堂内外使用 YouTube 进行教学，以适应这一代在快速变化的数字世界中成长的学生。
