Study Notes
Computer Teaching Strategies
- Used to educate nurses, students, and patients
- Effective for astute nurses
Drill and Practice
- Simplest level of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)
- Presents repetition and application of learned information, after students learn through computer programs or teaching methods
Tutorials
- Second mode of CAI
- Information presented with questions, hints given if students struggle
Games
- Board, card, and trivia games can teach nursing through computer games
Simulations
- Exciting and available form of CAI
- Students assess a patient's situation by receiving complete details and planning interventions and evaluating care to arrive at diagnoses
Computer Simulation Format
- Starts with a description of a patient
- Selection of data should then occur
- Feedback about the choices made
- Correct data is used to arrive at nursing diagnoses
- Appropriate nursing goals selected
- Each selection is responded to
- Appropriate actions must be selected
- Actions produce positive and negative results
- Evaluation criteria selected indicates successful nursing actions
- Evaluation criteria produce feedback
Multimedia Presentation
- Known as hypermedia
- Programs include: text, sound tracks, graphics, still photos, animations, video clips, and material from the World Wide Web (www)
Evaluating Software
- Manual (user's guide) is generally for nurse educators and not learners
- Evaluation should be based on program objectives
Criteria for Evaluating CAI Software
- Accuracy
- Ease of Use
- Design
- Appearance
- Feedback
- Cost Effectiveness
CAI for Patient Education
- Requires a sense of urgency
Three forces of urgency for patient education delivery
- Expectations of accreditation organizations
- Increase in lawsuits against health care facilities and providers
- Rise in consumerism
Research on Effectiveness of CAI
- Effective for content areas studied, but as effective as traditional pedagogy
- Conclusive evidence shows that CAI helps students learn
Internet
- A complex of computer connections across continents that connects millions of computers
- Also known as electronic mail
