Abstract

Globally Networked Learning (GNL) was used to engage nursing students on different continents. This collaboration involved utilizing the asynchronous Sexual Orientation Gender Identity Virtual Simulation (SOGI VS), focused on providing affirming nursing care for 2S LGBTQIA+ communities. Learnings from the SOGI VS tool were integrated to engage students in reflective learning and constructive feedback between peers that yielded insights and potential areas for improvement in fostering affirming care for 2S LGBTQIA+ communities. This overview summarizes how GNL can be utilized as a unique pedagogical tool to be incorporated into nursing education.
