Background: Nursing, like many disciplines in university settings, is experiencing increasing demand for online courses. Development and implementation of online courses with the quality of education nursing students experience in traditional classroom settings, is essential to maintaining integrity of the educational process. Nursing research has been offered in the online format in the RN‐BSN programme for 2 years. This course has an average enrolment of 80 to 90 students each semester. Purpose: This article presents strategies used in teaching an RN‐BSN nursing research course online. Conclusions: Feedback from faculty and students indicates that these strategies have been successful in facilitating this writing intensive course through distance learning.
