title: Computerized education in a multi hospital university medical center.
abstract: The advantages of using authoring, instructional, and informational computer applications in a university-based multi-hospital medical teaching center are vast. Software applications are used by the staff development educators at The Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center (CPMC) for test construction and administration, information processing, instruction, assessment, and evaluation. The media formats include Windows and DOS based CAI programs, CD ROM, IVD, INTERNET sites, and other on-line resources. This presentation will focus on how nurse educators use the various types of software applications available on the CPMC network and in the multimedia center, and on the benefits experienced by learners, educators, and nursing management and administration.
