Educause

            The Educause website is another example of using technologies in education.  This website provides valuable resources that can be used in academia, including articles, books, conferences materials, and other resources.  I reviewed two different articles.  One article was published by Garrett in (2014), which was talking about “Creating experiential learning spaces”.  The research showed that students’ engagement in classroom activities and their achievements would be higher through applying experiential learning and the best use of technologies.  Moreover, creating experiential learning spaces helps in preparing students to be prepared for work after their graduation.  Another article that I reviewed was established by Poster, Mancini, and Ganji in (2013), which was talked about the expanding online access for nurses.  In short, this article explained the benefits of expanding the online nursing educational program, which would increase incomes for educational institutions, and also, increase the number of graduate nurses.
