3. Introduction
 The educational goals of using technology in medical
education include facilitating basic knowledge
acquisition, improving decision making, enhancement
of perceptual variation, improving skill coordination,
practicing for rare or critical events, learning team
training, and improving psychomotor skills. Different
technologies can address these goals.

4. The information age
A period in human history characterized by
the shift from traditional industry that the
industrial revolution brought through
industrialization, to an economy based on
the information computerization.

5. Health education in the
information age
- The use of technology in education is a
reflection of what is happening on a much
larger scale in our communities.
- We are in a period of history often referred
to as the information age , the information
age is characterized by a change in focus from
industry to information.

6. The impact of technology on
the teacher and the learner
- The information age technology has had a
significant influence on educators and learners for a
number of reasons. Most importantly ,
- Learning has become a shared responsibility.
Teacher has taken on the role of facilitator as the
access to information bridge the gap between
teacher and learner. When information is widely
available ,it is no longer necessary for the teacher to
find’, filter and deliver the content .

7.  Therefore , the teacher is no longer the person who
holds all of the answers or the individual who is solely
responsible for imparting the information.
 - Educators in the information age are becoming
facilitators of learning rather than providers of
information. The need for memorization of the
information becomes less important than the ability to
think critically.

8. The impact of technology on
the teacher and the learner
The nurse must be prepared to be a facilitator
of learning by healping clients to access,
evaluate and use the wide range of
information that is available. The nurse must
also learn how and when to use technology
and remain current as new technology –based
tools become available in order to optimize
each learning experience.

9. Information Literacy
Information literacy is the ability to find,
evaluate, organize, use, and communicate
information in all its various formats, most
notably in situations requiring decision
making, problem solving, or the acquisition
of knowledge. It is a combination of research
skills, critical thinking skills, computer
technology skills, and communication skills.

10. Computer Literacy
 Computer literacy is defined as the knowledge and
ability to use computers and related technology
efficiently, with skill levels ranging from elementary
use to computer programming and advanced problem
solving.
 Computer literacy can also refer to the comfort level
someone has with using computer programs and
applications.

12. Consumer health informatics
 Consumer health informatics is a branch of health or
clinical informatics that analyzes information needs of
consumers, develops, tests, and implements strategies
to deliver health information to consumers, and
integrates consumer preferences into clinical
information systems

13. Strategies for using technology
in health care education
A pre-teaching assessment of a client in
the information age must begin with
questions about computer use.

14. 1-On-line healthcare
education
1. World Wide Web (WWW)
- World Wide Web (WWW): A technical definition of the
World Wide Web is all the resources and users on the Internet
that are using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that
provides access to images, videos , sound and text
the world wide web is the most familiar technology-based
educational recourses Internet
- As it is provides unlimited resources for nurses to use in
practice and in professional education and development. Web
sites provide access to bibliographic databases, continuing
education, online journals and resources for patient teaching
and professional practice.

15. 1. World Wide Web (WWW)
- Because the web can be so influential, it is important
to determine that the information a client has found is
accurate, complete and fully understood.
- It is important for nurses to establish early in their
relationship with clients that they are interested in
talking with them about the information they have
gathered from the web or other resources they have
available to them. Client need to feel that nurses are
open to discussing whatever information they find.
They need to understand that nurses are a partner in
seeking the best information available.

16. Internet
- The World Wide Web (WWW) is merely a small
component of the much larger computer net work
called internet.
- The internet service most likely to be of interest to
nurse educators includes those that allow computer-
facilitated communication such as
E-mail
Mailing lists
Electronic discussion group
Online chats

17. Steps to develop website
information literacy skills
- Healthcare consumers may not have the
background knowledge to evaluate
information to the same extent as a
professional, they can be taught some simple
steps to develop their information literacy
skills and to help them begin to identify
which web sites are useful and which are
problematic. These steps are:

18. Steps to develop website information
literacy skills
- Reduce a problem to a searchable command
- Categorize a web page according to its purpose
- identify sources of potential bias
- Make judgments about the accuracy and reliability of information
found
- Make decisions about the comprehensiveness of information
found
- Determine currency
- Identify resources to answer questions or verify assumptions
about content of a webpage
- The nurse can teach clients who access the web to use it more
effectively and can be proactive in encouraging others to give it a
try.

quickly send messages to worldwide audience and to gather
information about public perceptions of health issues.
Blogs

technologies such as MP3 player to the end user –the mobile
adult who can truly learn any where ,any time ,any place .
Mobile devices can be used for a wide range o activities and
with both clients in the clinical area and students in the
academic area. These activities include accessing websites,
listening to the lectures, or broadcasts, recording experience,
and assignments and participating in learning focused games.

30. E-learning
Definition
E-learning is an abbreviation of the term
electronic learning.
E-learning is a technology which supports
teaching and learning using a computer web
technology.
Focus on Learner – Designing, developing,
delivering and assessing learning.

31. Types of E-learning
Synchronous E-Learning
Synchronous learning: learning and
teaching takes place in real time (same
time) while the trainer and learners are
physically separated from each other.
Examples include:
- listening to a live radio broadcast
- watching live a television broadcast

32. Types of E-learning
Asynchronous E-learning
- Asynchronous learning is the fact that that the
trainer prepares the courseware material before the
course takes place. The learner is free to decide
when he wants to study the courseware.
-
In other words Asynchronous e-learning where
people are not online at the same time and
interaction does not occur without a time delay,
allowing people to participate on their schedules.
-

33. Types of E-learning
-
Examples include:
-
- self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-ROM
- videotaped classes
-
- stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars
-
- recorded audio tapes
- Q & A mentoring
- reading e-mail messages

34. Advantages of E-learning
- Reduced overall cost
- Learning times reduced
- Increase retention
- Consistent delivery
- On-demand availability/flexibility
- Expert knowledge
- Self-pacing
- Interactivity
- Confidence
- Transportation cost and saving
- Reducing enviromental impact

35. Disadvantage of E-learning
-
-Learners need to have access to a computer as well as
the internet.
-
- learners also need to have computer skills with
programs such as word processing, internet browsers,
and e-mail.
-
- E-learning also requires just as much time for
attending classroom course.

-
- Bias towards tech-savvy students over non-
technical students.
-
- Asynchronouscommunication hinders fastexchange
of
question.
- Danger of procrastination that is to postpone or delay

43. EVALUATION
- I collect data again throw whats app and the
same problems still facing them and I found
twenty-three persons responded and six was
still having problems with applications and
only one didn’t respond at all. And when I
revised hospital system again I found a
