Abstract

The authors describe an educational software program to use to administer medicines. They describe how a computer can help become an educational resource in nursing and the phases used to develop and evaluate this program. This program has five modules: 1. General instruction, 2. Avoiding errors, 3. Procedures, materials and supervision, 4. Possible complications, 5. Professional orientation; in addition, there is a summary module. This system has a total of 27 study units, 7 knowledge tests, 17 videos, and 34 photos. 24 students in undergraduate nursing were the study group on which this program was evaluated. Results were positive and some suggestions to improve this program were obtained. The authors concluded that this study is an improvement in teaching since this proposes a technological innovation which has possibilities for future development and due to its application of the latest technology for the nursing profession.

[Evaluation of radiological teaching programs in the Internet].

PURPOSE: Evaluation of web based training programs, which can be contacted from the homepages of radiological departments of German universities. MATERIAL AND METHOD: From June 2000 to January 2002 the 75 web based training programs of 57 providers,which can be contacted from the web pages of the radiological departments of German universities were evaluated in a prospective study. A medical student experienced in using the world wide web examined each training program three times in an interval of six months using the following criteria: availability of the web sites, target group, kind of training program, contents and structure and the technical solution. RESULTS: 51 of the 57 the homepages were fully available at each visit. 64 of the 75 web based training programs which could be connected from these sites were available at all three visits.One program was only partially available at one spot check. 8 of the 75 programs were designed for physicians and medically trained personal, 23 were made for medical students and 44 addressed both target groups (partially more than once mentioned). The number of the presented cases ranged between one single and 3700. In 31 of 75 training programs links to other teaching files were found. A complete presentation of cases was presented by 48 of the 75 web sites.5 of the 75 web sites offered physiological images for comparison. In 20 training programs the pathological changes were optically marked in the x-ray images. A logical and didactical structure was found in 24 teaching files, 14 gave the possibility to check the learning results. No provider made use of the possibility to pass credits to the students or physicians account with regard to official training programs. Multimedia techniques were used in 15 training programs.43 sites used data reduced preview images (thumbnails). The latest update of the site is mentioned in 55 of the 75 web sites. 19 of 57 providers had either no possibility of contact or did not answer to an e-mail. CONCLUSION: From the homepages of the departments of diagnostic radiology of German universities 75 teaching files can be contacted. There is a great variety in quantity and quality. Most sites offer collections of cases. A web based training program which is comparable in quality to a CD-ROM teaching program could not be found. No program used the possibility to give credits to the users with regard to official training programs.

A web based video tool for MR arthrography.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to integrate digital video and web technology to construct a useful self paced learning tool to deliver recorded techniques of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography for junior radiology residents and medical students. CONCLUSION: The streaming of audio media, an emerging technology, is an effective vehicle to deliver educational material over the Internet using commercially available PCs and modems, especially when teaching resources are limited.
