The increase of online nursing education, driven by technology and the de-
mand for flexible learning, has emphasized the importance of student engage-
ment. Participation plays a key role in shaping both academic achievement
and the acquisition of crucial nursing skills. This chapter explores the impact
of technological factors such as audio and video quality, as well as internet
speed, on student engagement. Moreover, it delves into how the ERR frame-
work – a teaching approach that includes Evocation, Realization of Meaning

settings to improve nursing students’ participation. This work aims to provide
educators with practical insights for improving online nursing education by
combining technological considerations with innovative teaching strategies.
