Abstract

The Interactive Teaching and Learning (INTaL) project aimed to encourage the use of new technologies in nurse education, including the development of a basic life support (BLS)CD-ROM, from an existing teaching pack. Funded by the National Health Service Executive Teacher Development Group in the South West, it involved representatives from all five Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the region. Using 'The Hyperlearning Model' as the basis for the structure of the CD-ROM, the production team author ed, storyboarded, recorded on video and edited materials for inclusion. The CD-ROM comprises the 'What How Why' of resuscitation, four problem-based Critical Thinking scenarios, a diagnostic pre-test and a summative post-test. The CD-ROM offers a highly interactive, flexible and student-centred resource, which has which has received positive feedback on initial use. It supports a paradigm shift in the delivery of knowledge for an essential nursing skill. © 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.
