Award-winning learning experiences developed with Unitek Learning and the University of Mary Washington help nursing students strengthen clinical judgment, build confidence, and prepare for practice from day one.
Nursing education is under pressure to connect what students learn in class with what they will need to do in practice. As programs adapt to evolving licensure expectations, faculty capacity constraints, and employer demand for practice-ready graduates, learning experiences must help students reason through patient-care decisions—not just absorb course content.
Two of Everspring's learning design projects have been recognized by the 2026 Telly Awards, earning one Silver and one Bronze award in the General-Education & Training category.
The awards highlight Everspring’s expertise in strengthening academic programs through faculty-informed learning design and high-quality production. In both projects, Everspring worked closely with nursing faculty to translate critical course concepts into scenario-based learning experiences students can revisit, practice with, and carry into hands-on learning environments.
The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens, recognizing outstanding work created for broadcast, digital, social, immersive, and branded content.
Everspring received a Silver Telly Award for Unitek Learning: Sutures and Staple Removal, part of a seven-video Practical Nursing skills series developed alongside Unitek faculty. Filmed in an authentic clinical environment, the series captures expert nursing techniques so that students are knowledgeable and prepared before entering the lab. Each procedure was designed to reinforce safe, consistent clinical practice while giving faculty a resource they could integrate into instruction.
Everspring also earned a Bronze Telly Award for Managing Type 2 Diabetes in Urban Clinical Settings: A Case Study, one of three animated case studies developed for the University of Mary Washington. The award-winning case study explores the challenges of caring for patients with chronic disease in an urban clinical environment, using narrative-based learning to help students consider how cultural, social, and environmental factors influence patient outcomes and clinical decision-making. Rather than presenting a clinical scenario as text alone, the animated experience brings patient-centered care to life, helping students better understand the complexity of real-world healthcare decisions.
Together, the projects show how purposeful learning design can help students understand techniques, think through patient needs, and navigate the decisions behind effective care.
This recognition builds on Everspring’s nearly 15 years of experience designing superior digital learning experiences that improve engagement, support persistence, and prepare students for career success. Rooted in neuroscience-informed learning practices, Everspring’s academic design work connects curriculum, pedagogy, student experience, and workforce relevance to help institutions deliver programs that are academically strong, scalable, and outcomes-driven. In healthcare and nursing education, that work includes focused solutions like the Everspring Practice-Ready Nursing Pathway, as well as course design, course development, faculty enablement, instructional design support, and applied learning experiences that help students build confidence, strengthen clinical judgment, and prepare for practice from day one.
