Distance learning via the World Wide Web offers convenience and flexibility. Online education connects nurses geographically in a manner that the traditional face-to-face learning environment lacks. Delivered in both a synchronous (real time interaction) or asynchronous (delayed interaction) format, distance programs continue to provide nurses with choice, especially in the pursuit of advanced degrees. This article explores the pros and cons of distance education, in addition to the most popular platform used in distance learning today, the Blackboard Academic Suite. Characteristics of the potential enrollee to ensure a successful distance education experience are also discussed. Distance nursing programs are here to stay. Although rigorous, the ease of accessibility makes distance learning a viable alternative for busy nurses.
通过万维网进行的远程学习提供了便利性和灵活性。在线教育以传统面对面学习环境所缺乏的方式，将各地的护士联系起来。远程课程以同步（实时互动）或异步（延迟互动）的形式授课，继续为护士提供选择，尤其是在攻读高级学位方面。本文探讨了远程教育的利弊，以及当今远程学习中最常用的平台——Blackboard学术套件。还讨论了确保远程教育成功的潜在学员的特征。远程护理课程将会持续存在。虽然要求严格，但易于获取使远程学习成为忙碌护士的可行选择。
