title: Learning about computers.
abstract: Although this first experience with computer content accomplished what the faculty had hoped for, it also raised questions that had to be answered. For example, is it feasible for a faculty member to be present at all computer practice sessions? Can a project be developed in one semester and implemented in another? Could computer technology be incorporated in all courses so that there is no time gap between its introduction and application? Should a separate course on computer use be incorporated into the curriculum? If faculty's objectives for student education in nursing include knowledge of computers in professional practice, should this also hold true for nursing educators? After evaluating the success of their efforts to incorporate computer technology into the curriculum, C. W. Post's nursing faculty believe that further planning can resolve the problems and concerns they identified and that they will be able to expand on what they have already accomplished.
