Nursing faculty members competence of Web-based course development systems directly influences students' satisfaction.

Nursing faculty are compelled to use and implement computer assisted instruction to meet the technological needs of a diverse student population. Much of the current trend of nursing faculty and nursing curricula design encompasses a traditional face-to-face instruction mode and teaching methodology. Although faculty are using and implementing computer assisted instruction, the format is not personalized to the student. The goal of enhancing and maintaining continued student satisfaction will depend on the efficient nature of the faculty in the development of their individual technological competencies, nursing content area mastery and available university-wide technological support systems and resources.

Retaining and assisting nontraditional nursing students in a baccalaureate nursing program utilizing Blackboard & Tegrity technologies.

Historically Black College and University (HBCU) implemented new teaching methodologies that incorporate both technology and face-to-face teaching as a means of assisting and retaining the non-traditional student. Teaching strategies were enhanced through a new instructional delivery method, Tegrity. The course, Introduction to Nursing Process I, was transformed to a hybrid on-line course using Blackboard and Tegrity. Its transformation reflected inherent strengths when faculty used a systematic approach and implemented a strong team effort. A team approach including collaboration on lecture content and shared PowerPoint presentations in all sections of the course facilitated consistency in the course content. A conceptual model, which included a systems approach that encourages student involvement, was actualized throughout the project. This article utilizes a descriptive approach and explains what faculty did to retain and assist the 157 newly admitted non-traditional baccalaureate nursing students using two technological methods.
