Abstract

This pilot study aimed to provide students with a learning activity to develop a global perspective of health care. Senior nursing students from New Zealand and the United Kingdom (n=15) were allocated to eNetwork small-groups. Students met weekly for one month via audio/video-conferencing for discussions. Students reported that this collaborative activity enabled them to engage purposefully with other students. While cultural differences were noted, similarities were also found and multiplestudents expressed interest in working overseas.
