Online education can be a wonderful teaching-learning experience for professors and students alike. This column shares excerpts from postings that students and a professor wrote during an online nursing theories course with the intention to illuminate selected essences, paradoxes, and processes of Parse's teaching-learning model and to portray living attentive presence and changing perspectives with online teaching-learning strategies. This reflection was initiated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Institute of Human Becoming when two of the authors (Aquino-Russell and Maillard Strüby) were introduced to the human becoming teaching-learning model by nurse theorist Rosemarie Rizzo Parse.
