Most commonly, wound management education has been facilitated experientially in the practice setting and in a teacher-centred format in nursing curricula. Although these methods are effective, the learning styles and the needs of students have changed in recent years in response to the use of digital technology in everyday life. Students are immersed in the use of technology to connect to their peers and to complete research for academic work and assessment in school and college settings. This has, consequently, influenced learning styles and it is important to consider this when optimising learning opportunities for students.

Nurses who are involved in teaching students, whether they are associated with the practice or education setting, may regard developing digital learning as challenging, despite having the ideas and practical expertise. Sharing expertise and understanding how to develop effective digital learning resources are essential to enhance student learning. To that end, this article describes how a digital learning wound care course was developed by nurse lecturers for student nurses.
