RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Engaging remote learners can be challenging for nurse educators. With an increase in virtual learning, nurse educators are seeking activities that support engagement and improve critical thinking. PROBLEM: Students in virtual classes need learning experiences that support critical thinking and involve appropriate case studies for knowledge application. APPROACH: Stop-action video vignettes as unfolding case studies employ technology that can facilitate critical thinking and active learning in a virtual setting. Stop-action video vignettes can be useful in enhancing student learning through 3 methods: video-based discussion, text-based discussion, and branching matrices. CONCLUSION: Stop-action video vignettes with unfolding case studies may provide effective and versatile activities to engage students and enhance learning.
