Abstract
During the coronavirus pandemic, UK Academics were required to adjust their learning and teaching environment and pedagogical approaches, with little guidance or time. Feelings of frustration and uncertainty around student engagement were commonplace across Higher Education Institutions. This was heightened in professionally regulated courses, such as nursing. The shift to online learning created a situation where academics were frequently faced with a 'sea of black screens' and unable to ascertain student engagement. This study investigated undergraduate nursing students' experience of online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. An anonymous survey was distributed to each year of the undergraduate nursing programme and data subsequently analysed. Responses from 54 students revealed that engagement varied between different year groups. There were significant differences between those with pre-COVID (traditional face-to-face) teaching experience (years 2 and 3) and those without (year 1) in regard to self-reported engagement with online learning. The findings from this study revealed some powerful and emotional insights into the experience of online learning amongst UK students undertaking an undergraduate nursing programme during the COVID-19 pandemic.
