Computer – Assisted
Instruction
canbe used to teach
nurses, students and
patients
can
be very effective in the
hands of an astute nurse
educator.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
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.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
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.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
Games
• just as board games, card
games and trivia games can
be used to teach nursing, so
can computer games.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
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.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
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).
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
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

Instruction
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.
Computer – Assisted
Instruction
Internet is a mammoth
complex of computer
connections across
continents, connecting
many millions of computers.
The Internet
E–mail
• Electronic mail
• can be used to provide
greater collaboration
between teachers and
students and between
students and students.
The Internet
New Groups
• are similar to listservs in
that they are discussion
groups of people with
similar interests.
The Internet
• Purpose
• Currency
• Credibility
• Content Accuracy
• Design
