can be used to teach nurses, students and patients

can be very effective in the hands of an astute nurse educator.

Drill and Practice the simplest level of CAI. students have already learned

information, either through computer programs or other teaching methods, and are now presented with repetition and application of the information.

Tutorials the second mode in which CAI may be

written teaches the students a body of

knowledge by presenting information and asking questions, giving hints if the student gets stuck.

Games just as board games, card games and

trivia games can be used to teach nursing, so can computer games.

Simulations One of the most exciting and available

forms of CAI. Provide students with all details about

a particular patient situation and ask them to assess the patient, arrive at diagnoses, plan interventions and evaluate care.

Computer Simulation format:

Description of a patient situation. Student selects which data should be

collected. Computer provides feedback about

choices. Student uses the correct data to arrive at

nursing diagnoses. Computer provides feedback on

diagnoses.

Student selects appropriate nursing goals. Computer responds to each selection as to why

it is or is not correct. Student selects appropriate actions. Computer responds with positive and negative

effects of each actions. Student selects evaluation criteria that indicate

success of nursing actions. Computer provides feedback on evaluation

criteria.

Multimedia Presentation sometimes called hypermedia programs may incorporate text, sound

tracks, graphics, still photos, animations, video clips, and material from the World Wide Web (www).

Evaluating Software Manual – (user’s guide) generally not

made available to learners but should be available to the nurse educator.

Evaluate the program in terms of the objectives you want to achieve.

Criteria for evaluating CAI software:

Accuracy Ease of use Design Appearance Feedback Cost Effectiveness

CAI for Patient Education Three forces of urgency to the delivery

of patient education:- expectation of accreditation

organizations- the increase in lawsuits against health

care facilities and providers.- the rise in consumerism in our society.

CAI for Nursing students and Nursing Staffs programs are available that teach

psychomotor skills, dosage computation, care planning, problem solving, critical thinking and content in many medical conditions.

Research on Effectiveness of CAI CAI is at least as effective if not more

effective than traditional pedagogy for the content areas studied.

The vast number of studies that have been conducted give weight to the conclusion that CAI is an effective way to achieve student learning.

The InternetThe Internet

InternetInternet is a mammoth complex of computer connections across continents, connecting many millions of computers.

E–mail Electronic mail can be used to provide greater

collaboration between teachers and students and between students and students.

The InternetThe Internet

New Groups are similar to listservs in that they are

discussion groups of people with similar interests.

The InternetThe Internet

World Wide Web a collection of millions of documents

found on Web Pages that interface to the Internet.

World Wide Web Searches “surfing the web” is an appropriate

some people take, but it is like aimlessly walking up and down unmarked and unfamiliar supermarket aisles, hopping you are soon find the item you are seeking.

Evaluating World Wide Web Sites let the reader beware and let the

reader have some criteria in mind for sorting out the good from the garbage.

Criteria for evaluating Quality of WWW Sites:

Purpose Currency Credibility Content Accuracy Design

Virtual RealityVirtual Reality

a computer- based, simulated three- dimensional environment in which the participant interacts with a virtual world.

only in virtual reality can the learner enter a virtual world and feel an object, move it, and measure its movement.
