ABSTRACT Electrocardiography (ECG) instruction relies heavily on memorization of interpretation rules and lacks opportunities for hands-on practice. Consequently, nursing students struggle with ECG interpretation. In an online undergradute nursing course, we implemented interactive technology to facilitate kinesthetic pedagogy. Accuracy was evaluated at midterm and during final assessments by two experts using a standardized rubric. Students who engaged with interactive technology at both assessments demonstrated consistent accuracy of ECG interpretation; students who did not failed to demonstrate consistent accuracy with ECG interpretation. Incorporating interactive technology to facilitate psychomotor learning may be essential in improving the accuracy of ECG interpretation.
