Purpose

This study aimed not only to describe the development and implementation of the module but also to evaluate the nursing students' perceptions.

Design and Methods

A cross-sectional design including 101 students who were asked to participate and answer a survey. We describe the development of the pedagogic module Students Active Learning via Internet Observations based on situated learning.

Findings

The findings show that learning about service users' own lived experiences via web-based platforms was instructive according to the students: 81% agreed to a high or very high degree. Another important finding was that 96% of students responded that the module had clinical relevance for nursing work.

Practice Implications

We argue that learning that engages students with data that are contextually and culturally situated is important for developing competence in caregiving.
