ABSTRACT
Numerous web-based resources are available to improve the knowledge of undergraduate students in assessing and providing care to older adults. These resources can be helpful to nurse educators regardless of the learning environment and to students and nurses who are working with older adults. This article describes some of the widely available online resources for teaching geriatric content to students and how to use them. The purpose of this article is to promote use of websites as teaching tools for nurse educators and as a resource to students and nurse clinicians.
