| Summary: | Aim: The aim of the article was to report the lived experiences of nurse educators on the use of technology-mediated education to facilitate teaching and learning in private nursing colleges in Gauteng, South Africa. Method: Descriptive phenomenology underpinned by the views of Edmund Husserl was used to explore the experiences of nurse educators regarding technology-mediated education. Eleven nurse educators were purposively sampled. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide and analysed according to the steps described by Colaizzi. Trustworthiness was ensured by using the principles of credibility, confirmability, dependability, and transferability. Findings: Four themes emerged from the data. These are related to the decision to use technology, accessibility of technology, educator-related aspects, and support. Conclusion: The use of technology in teaching and learning has become more pronounced, forcing educators and students to use it despite their various difficulties. |
