A nursing student is able to continue studies while visiting abroad. This student’s nursing program has implemented which of the following to make this possible?

1. Classroom technology
2. Distance learning
3. CAI
4. Informatics

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Classroom technology is just one piece of distance learning.
Rationale 2: Distance learning is a model to deliver information and class sessions via audio or video transmission. The use of computers is required to offer this type of delivery in education.
Rationale 3: Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) a method to allow for practice and simulation via CD-ROM is only one component of distance learning.
Rationale 4: Nursing informatics is the science of using computer information systems in the practice of nursing, not necessarily the education of nursing.
