ABSTRACT In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of an online learning resource for introductory financial accounting students using a suite of online multiple choice questions (MCQ) for summative and formative purposes. We found that the availability and use of an online resource resulted in improved examination performance for those students who actively used the online learning resource. Further, we found a positive relationship between formative MCQ and unit content related to challenging financial accounting concepts. However, better examination performance was also linked to other factors, such as prior academic performance, tutorial participation, and demographics, including gender and attending university as an international student. JEL Classifications: I20; M41.

Throughout the globe, university schools of nursing have implemented foreign exchange excursions for nursing students to experience nursing care of a variety of patients from various cultures and ethnic backgrounds. There is a dearth of these clinical placements though that are focused upon developing student awareness of nursing placement leaders. This article describes the learning provided from clinical nursing mentors who guide the students in enhancing their awareness of cultural awareness, socialized and capitalistic healthcare, as well as the role of nursing leaders. This article’s purpose is to showcase an international program that has been in existence for eleven years that has combined the educational and clinical focus of two international university schools of nursing and two children’s hospitals that are located in a district in Great Britain, as well as the Southeastern United States. This program utilizes a special educational clinical placement method that has allowed both students from Great Britain and the Southeastern United States to select their clinical nursing mentor and specify the desired learning environment in both the hospital clinical and community environment. Both successes and challenges of the joint international clinical placement program are presented and the recommendations for other schools of nursing as well as clinical hospital agencies that desire to embark on developing a mutually satisfying clinical placement program. Key words: Clinical Placement, Clinical Nursing Mentor, Exchange Programs
