Generating challenging and meaningful academic assignments for nursing students in which the student manages the technology used to deliver information is needed for accelerated second‐degree nursing students. Developing those assignments is critical for keeping accelerated second‐degree students engaged in the learning process. They are highly motivated, self‐directed learners who have been found to have a preference for teaching‐learning experiences that incorporate the use of technology. This paper describes the development of a mock webpage assignment to meet the learning needs of accelerated second‐degree nursing students.
