Unbound Medicine, a US-based provider of knowledge management solutions for the healthcare industry, has partnered with Miami Dade College's Benjamín León School of Nursing to mobilise their curriculum and create a unique mobile learning environment. Using Unbound's online authoring system, uPub™, faculty developed a digital curriculum guide to help students navigate through their course of study. The curriculum was then fully integrated with Unbound's trusted drug, test, and disease references as well as clinical decision-making tools. The final product is a customised, downloadable mobile learning application that is used by students and faculty across two campuses.
The partnership was born as Miami Dade College was looking for a cutting-edge yet cost-effective means to create a mobile learning environment where faculty could capture teachable moments and promote critical thinking at any point during a student's day. Unbound's uPub was chosen to fulfill this vision because of its unique authoring system that makes it easy for institutions to design, develop, manage, and distribute their own content on mobile devices and the web.
The curriculum guide was easily constructed, reviewed, and approved online using uPub's familiar word processing features and then published alongside Unbound's award-winning references and decision tools.
Miami-Dade's Benjamín León School of Nursing, which opened in 1962, claims to be the largest undergraduate nursing programs in the United States, graduating more than 19,000 nurses.
