Study Notes

Computer Teaching Strategies

  • Computer teaching strategies are effective in teaching nurses, students and patients.
  • In the hands of an astute nurse, these strategies can be very effective.

Drill and Practice

  • Drill and practice is the simplest Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) level.
  • Information previously learned is presented via repetition and application.

Tutorials

  • Tutorials are the second mode of CAI.
  • Presenting information, posing questions, and providing hints support students if they encounter difficulties.

Games

  • Board games, card games, and trivia games can be adapted for teaching nursing via computer games.

Simulations

  • Simulations are an exciting and readily available form of CAI.
  • Detailed patient situations are presented, requiring students to assess the patient, diagnose, plan interventions, and evaluate care.

Computer Simulation Format

  • Includes a Description of a patient situation.
  • The student selects data to be collected.
  • Computer provides feedback about choices.
  • The student uses data to arrive at nursing diagnoses.
  • The student selects appropriate nursing goals.
  • The computer responds whether the selection is correct.
  • The student selects appropriate actions.
  • The computer responds with positive and negative effects of actions.
  • The student selects evaluation criteria for nursing action success.
  • The computer provides feedback on evaluation criteria.

Multimedia Presentation

  • Multimedia presentation is also known as hypermedia.
  • Programs use text, sound tracks, graphics, still photos, animations, video clips, and WWW material.

Evaluating Software

  • User's guide is generally inaccessible to students but should be available to nurse educators.
  • Programs should be evaluated based on the objectives.

Criteria for Evaluating CAI Software

  • Accuracy
  • Ease of use
  • Design
  • Appearance
  • Feedback
  • Cost Effectiveness

CAI for Patient Education

  • There are 3 forces driving the delivery of patient education.
  • The Expectation of accreditation organizations
  • The increase in lawsuits against health care facilities and providers
  • The rise in consumerism in society

Research on Effectiveness of CAI

  • CAI is at least as effective versus traditional pedagogy for the content areas studied.
  • Studies indicate that CAI is an effective way to achieve student learning.

Internet

  • The Internet is a complex of computer connections across continents, connecting many millions of computers.

Email

  • Email is electronic mail.
  • Email enhances collaboration between teachers/students and between students.

New Groups

  • New groups are similar to list serves, offering discussion groups for people with shared interests.

World Wide Web

  • The World Wide Web is a collection of millions of documents on Web Pages that interface to the Internet.
  • "Surfing the web" is like aimlessly walking through supermarket aisles, hoping to find something.

Evaluating World Wide Web Sites

  • Readers should be cautious, using criteria to sort out the good from the irrelevant.

Criteria for WWW Evaluation

  • Purpose
  • Currency
  • Credibility
  • Content Accuracy

Virtual Reality

  • Virtual reality is a computer-based, simulated 3D environment for participant interaction.
  • Allowing the learner to enter a virtual world and feel objects, move them, and measure their movements.
