Lt for NursingTaking Nursing Education beyond the classroom

Lt is a cloud-based learning platform that bridges the gap between theory and practice by delivering an engaging, immersive learning experience.Designed to stimulate active learning based on the latest pedagogical research on engagement and retention, Lt has 300+ fully editable life science lessons created by a specialized team of instructional designers. Educators can also create, customize, and deliver their own content using Lt’s modern tools and features. Lt gives students the unique ability to record and analyze their own physiological signals, encouraging active learning and giving students an engaging, immersive learning experience.

Lt for NursingDesigned specifically for nursing and healthcare courses, Lt delivers two comprehensive collections of lessons: the Immersive Nursing Collection and the Clinical Skills Collection. These collections bridge the gap between theory and practice by interweaving real patient studies and background information with practical exercises.

The collections include engaging exercises, video interviews, audio bites, animations, images, quizzes and other interactive content, providing the perfect complement to simulation.
