Continuously Improving Online Course Design using the Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle - Elizabeth A. Gazza, JOLT
Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) is a continuous improvement process that can be used to inform practice in online education. This article describes how the PDSA cycle was used to enhance a new online health policy course in an accelerated online Registered Nurse to-Bachelor of Science (RN-BS) program at one Southeastern University. A goal of course development and delivery was to ensure that students could access and understand all directions and guidelines included in the new online course. Recommendations for course enhancement are useful to individuals who design and/or teach online courses and reflect use of data in the decision-making process.
