Whereas, students found the use of CAI to be a useful and relevant addition to their instruction, administration and faculty resisted initially, but later accepted the innovation. Faculty had difficulty in changing their role from transmitter to facilitator of information. Students preferred learning on PLATO to reading texts, listening to lectures, and studying audiovisual aids. They felt it saved them time and helped them apply theory to clinical practice situations. There was no difference in achievement between those using PLATO and those receiving instruction through lecture/discussion. Nursing lessons explored tutorial, drill and practice, inquiry, gaming, and simulation strategies. Sized writing, colored slides, graphics, and animation varied content presentation, while branching, judging, and feedback provided information and promoted learner interest and interaction.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T18:49:18Z (GMT).
