    1. Nursing Informatics Integration in a 4 year BSN Program Paper vs Web Based Instruction June Kaminski, RN MSN PhD(c) june@nursing-informatics.com

    2. Rationale Curriculum supported Nursing Informatics as a central thread Stressed the need to integrate NI across the program, not just a single course Learning activities developed by author for each Nursing course in program across all four years

    3. Learning Activity Design Each Learning activity includes 3 crucial components including: Epistemological: Cognitive, To Know Ontological: Interactive, To Do Phenomenological: Reflective, To Be

    4. Integration Procedure From 1996 to 1999, a paper manual was used for integration In September 1999, a web-based environment for the content was added Content is updated and revised annually (summer)

    5. Integration Procedure (ii) The learning activities are focused on 3 themes: 1. Nursing Informatics Theory 2. Computer Application Literacy 3. Nursing Informatics Culture Development

    6. Integration Procedure (iii) Each student is provided with a manual and a website directory (70+ pages each) and access to the web-based learning environment Specific learning activities for each course integrated into the classroom by some faculty or taught directly by author as guest instructor.

    7. Integration Procedure (iv) Cyberphobia is addressed: each student completes the P.A.T.C.H. assessment tool (Pretest for Attitudes Toward Computers in Healthcare) A personal learning plan to develop computer literacy is also encouraged

    8. Nursing Informatics Learning Activities YEAR ONE Semester One Electronic Literature Search Nursing Informatics as a Competency Observation: Nurse’s Use of Computers Reverie Journaling (WordProcessing) Semester Two World Wide Web Searches Email, Netiquette Personal Portfolio: (Spreadsheets)

    9. Nursing Informatics Learning Activities YEAR TWO Semester Three Use of Nursing Info Systems In Acute Care Discharge Planning (Pamphlet, Booklet) Health Challenge Research Semester Four Technology & Caring Health Information: Nursing Components Confidentiality & Security Visual Teaching in Pathophysiology

    10. Nursing Informatics Learning Activities YEAR THREE Semester Five Nurse Expert Systems Teaching Prevention Preparing for the Future Bioethics & Technology RN ACCESS: Intro to Nursing Informatics Semester Six Health Promotion Tool Research Software Website Development Online Collaboration Community Development

    11. Nursing Informatics Learning Activities YEAR FOUR Semester Seven Computers & Change Data Analysis Software Group Chats & IRC CHINS, Telenursing Digital Media Semester Eight Multimedia Lifelong Learning & Competencies Nursing Informatics Specialization

    12. Web-based Environment BENEFITS Core resources online Develop Internet skills Readings & references Online Tutorials & Research sources hyperlinked Ready access to Help Interactive groups & Canadian Informatics sites hyperlinked (CNIA, CIHI, COACH, CNA,..) Ontological component is more realistic

    13. Web-based Environment CHALLENGES Computer Literacy Cyberphobia Access (lab, home) Faculty Readiness Motivation Server Downtime Campus Resources Tutoring complex skills (Website design, Mutimedia, etc.) Budget Restraints for Faculty Training Student Workload Learning Curve
