Success Story from PolyU Faculty Member

“In 2021, the teaching team of SN2121 "Fundamentals of Nursing Therapeutics I" was looking for video demonstrations of clinical abilities with online access. Our Faculty Librarian suggested JoVE from the library's databases. We found this to be accessible to all teaching team members and students, as well as very user-friendly. Since then, this resource has been used as a demonstration and revision tool for Nursing students, ensuring consistent online accessibility and instructional quality.” -- Dr Phyllis Pang, School of Nursing, PolyU
