Goldilocks and the Bowl of TofuOnce upon a time, nursing students studying research concepts may have found the subject too dry, but thanks to associate professor of nursing Jeanne Grace, the course is now just right. Grace, who began teaching the undergraduate research course at the School of Nursing four years ago, has hammered out several contemporary versions of traditional fables to help students better grasp difficult research topics while making the course more interesting. "Because people learn in a variety of ways, you never know which approach is going to trigger the 'ah-ha' experience for students," says Grace. The course has evolved into the School of Nursing's first online course, one that has drawn the attention of other nursing schools. The school markets both the fables and the online course on a subscription basis. Ten schools used the fables last semester.
