• Another factor that would increase the student's learning will be from the examination that will be given to them by the instructor based on the presentations.

• Emotions play a huge impact on memory retention. The introduction evokes emotions that will entice the interest of students and influence retention.

• The multiple technologies and teaching strategies utilized in this lesson will stimulate the different areas of the brain, therefore increasing memory retention and learning.

• The appraisal of their own nursing practice involves utilization of prior learning and evaluation of the impact of nursing theories and its application.

• A copy of the PowerPoint presentation by each group posted on WebCT that the whole class has access to will be of great help in stimulating new information into progressing into long-term memory.
