F23 FLEX OpenRN & LibreTexts Adapt: Next Gen RN

The Next Gen RN Project is a spinoff project of the Open RN project, funded by a $500,000 WTCS Core Industry grant. In collaboration with LibreTexts, the ADAPT software platform has been customized for nursing faculty to create NCLEX Next-Generation (NGN) style case studies, bowties, and other item types and share them with other faculty with CC BY 4.0 licensing.

"LibreTexts’ ADAPT software platform has been customized so faculty can create openly licensed formative assessments that mimic NGN-style questions. Rationale will be provided for correct answers, and links will be provided to review related content in the Open RN OER nursing textbooks so students can review areas of weakness. This adaptive learning model directs students to points within their learning materials where they can further study to review a concept that they may have overlooked or misunderstood as they apply it to patient care. Additionally, the customized ADAPT software platform can be integrated into a faculty member’s primary learning management system (i.e., Canvas or Blackboard), so student results will sync directly into gradebooks and faculty will receive reports on student progress."
