Collaborative learning activities offer the opportunity for CNL students to gain experience in working together in small groups to negotiate and solve care process problems. The challenge for nurse educators is to provide collaborative learning activities in an asynchronous learning environment that can be considered isolating by default. The humanizing elements of VoiceThread enabled instructor and learners to communicate emotion, personality, and other nonverbal cues conducive to better understanding and interpretation of meaning when collaborating in an asynchronous on-line environment.
