Guided Writing Strategy

Nurse Educator Tips for Teaching

The authors developed a guided writing method for an undergraduate nursing course by incorporating 3 active learning strategies: in-class writing workshops, guided worksheets, and real-time collaboration using peer-review teams. By providing students with dedicated time for in-class writing, students avoid procrastination, reduce reliance on AI, and are encouraged to access available resources such as the library and writing and tutoring center. The course was redesigned so that 50% of class time is workshop-based. Drs. Cibele Webb and Nicole Mentag describe this innovation in this podcast and article.
