Designing a user interface and computer screens for instruction: some considerations.

Computer-assisted instruction and interactive videodisc are being used more often in allied health sciences education and medical training. Because computer graphics screens can enhance both legibility and readability, an effective computer interface for instruction is basic to the design and development of both. This article discusses guidelines on legibility, which includes the use of graphics, type and text, contrast, and color.

Corporate connections.

Mutually beneficial connections can be made between academic institutions and industry to meet respective goals and objectives. The University of Texas System Cancer Center cooperated with a major oil company to form such a connection. The link provided the center with funds to produce videotaped cancer detection and prevention modules for employees of the company. This connection and others like it may prove essential to the future well being of biomedical communication units.

Multimedia in nursing and patient education.

Multimedia education or computer-based instruction is currently being used in both patient and nursing education for staff development, continuing education, general health information, and informed consent. It can be used to teach content, skills, and concepts, as well as to simulate situations. Multimedia may be incorporated as a part of other hospital systems to provide individualized patient education by using actual patient data. Multimedia as an instructional strategy has some definite advantages and disadvantages that can affect integration and use. It will be used more and more in the health care environment to provide consistent, accurate information to nurses and patients.
