title: Development of e-learning multimedia contents for PBL.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a PBL package for maternal and newborn care and apply e-learning multimedia contents for PBL. During the first semester of 2005, 64 Nursing students of a college were subjected to the e-learning multimedia contents for PBL. This course was blended so that part of the class sessions were held in a face to face setting and the other classes were held online. Learners' reactions and their instructional performance were measured.E-learning multimedia contents, composed of a learning contents system, PBL systems and an administrator/professor system, were developed. Ratings of their reactions as learners and of instructional performance averaged 3.3 points and 3.9 points (on a scale of 5) respectively. Some benefits of this program as reported by the learners are: the moving pictures similar to clinical situations, distinctive experience, ease of understanding, time saving, repetitive learning, etc. The nursing students reported this program was a positive experience and that it encouraged self-directed learning.
