Over the past decade or two advancements in educational technology have taken place so swiftly that it threatens to revolutionize the education system. This phenomena seem to drive higher education institutions to respond with costly roll out plans that bring state of the art computing hard- and software, together with other highly specialized educational technologies, to their campuses. The dilemma is that these investments in educational technology are often made in isolation, without consideration for imperative aspects such as professional development. To progress, educators need to acquire the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to make optimal use of the technology. This can be achieved, among other, by means of well-structured professional development programmes. In this chapter the author explores the role of educational technology in higher education and establishes the need for capacity building by means of carefully designed professional development programmes. It furthermore suggests an alternative professional development framework.

High Level

The role of faculty in higher education as knowledge disseminators within the knowledge and digital society can be completely redefined. This paper presents results from a video-based flipped classroom approach combined with a project-oriented learning arrangement. I show that videos combined with a project-based learning setting can be a powerful tool to facilitate the shift from knowledge dissemination to knowledge appropriation. Besides, results show a high level of student's satisfaction and achievement during the course. The competences obtained by the students during the course reach far beyond those possible in a similar course with a traditional teaching approach.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify themes addressed in studies on the repercussions of nursing training in professional practice in Brazil. Method: this is a qualitative research, following the assumptions of Ganong's Integrative Literature Review (1987). The keywords or terms "Health Care" were used; "Nursing"; "Higher Education"; "Teaching in Higher Education"; "Health Service"; "Human Resources" and "Nursing Undergraduates" in consultation with the Virtual Health Library and the CAPES Portal of Journals. Sixty-four studies were found, of which 41 met the inclusion criteria. Results: in the analysis, three themes were highlighted: pedagogical processes and the role of professors and students; curricular structure in nursing education; management of health training. Final considerations: we observed the need to incorporate the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) principles and directives in nursing education in the country so that the training is consistent with the needs of professional practice. The study points out to the challenges that emerge with this incorporation.
