Sporadic, partial development of computer-related curriculum by one faculty member or a small group of faculty without overall program coordination has been the rule rather than the exception. A need exists to develop a decision-making model or schema to facilitate optimal decisions concerning program-wide applications of CAI in schools of nursing. This need is enhanced by the newness of computer technology in nursing education. Few nurse educators have expertise in this area; therefore, few are even aware of questions which should be asked or the potential array of options which are available.This item is protected by copyright and unless otherwise specified the copyright of this thesis/dissertation is held by the author.Computer-assisted instructionNursingDissertationopenAccess
