This e-learning course is designed to improve digital competence for nursing students following the theoretical framework and the Digital Competence Assessment Checklist (DCAC). The innovative e-learning modules, titled the “DigiNurse
Program,” are intended to enhance digital competency among Master's degree nursing
students via self-directed learning over 8 weeks. The DigiNurse curriculum consists of four
instructional modules: (1) Utilization of Digital Media and Resources, (2) Application of
Digital Communication, (3) Cognition in Digital Learning, and (4) Safety in Digital
Environment. The instructional materials were developed through an extensive literature
review and the adaptation of previous lessons on digital competence from other disciplines to
the particular setting of nursing education.
