Answer 1

As technology in nursing and medicine has increased, so has technology’s role in nursing education.Technology also has the power to transform teaching by ushering in a new model of connected teaching.

*One on One Method of teaching :-
The main aim of the mentoring is to supervise the student during the learning activities, to organize learning activities, to give constructive feedback, to determine the students 'skills, attitudes and behaviors, to express concerns about the students' performances and to offer solutions . Technology supports an effective classroom environment and clinical learning when used appropriately and properly in nursing education.Distance education is the electronic delivery of education to a distant setting via satellite, video, audio, computer, multimedia technology, and similar tools. This method includes methods such as computer-based teaching, online teaching, and e- teaching.
*Advantage :-
With this method, the educational needs of a large body of students are met wherever they are and whenever they want it. Web-assisted distance learning facilitates learning in comparison to rather traditional teaching methods .
*Disadvantage:-
Poor internet connection, certain teaching methods applied by the teaching staff and some negative situations encountered in the time of examination are some of the challenges that can be experienced in the use of this method.
* Small Group discussion :-these formats offer the opportunity for active student participation and make students partners in the educational process.

Other senses may also be used, such as smell or touch. he demonstration provides a common experience for all the learners, giving a basis for discussion to reinforce the learning. Demonstrations can be used for individual or group teaching. They also have the advantage of providing a n opportunity to learners to sharpen their observational skills.
*Disadvantage:-
