title: Enriching learning using Web and computer technologies: how not to throw caution to the wind.
abstract: Proponents of computer or web-based learning enthusiastically discuss its democratising potential in education whilst critics argue that the medium has many difficulties. Whilst acknowledging the need for caution in embracing this innovative technology, an Australian School of Nursing recently set about transforming an on-campus conventionally delivered nursing degree program into one which is web enhanced. This paper aims to describe the project as well as the teaching and learning approaches taken. Wh ilst our experience may not be universal, many of the ideas and lessons learned may be relevant to nursing educators interested in enhancing the quality and richness of their curriculum processes with computer and web-based activities.
