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