Optimising e-learning in healthcare for nurses
Abstract
E-learning and virtual classrooms have proven to be efficient ways to discuss, to exchange information and to build shared knowledge amongst distributed participants. The paper presents the evaluation of three multimedia technologies that were developed to support e-learning for nurses (n = 84) working in shift at the hospital. The multimedia tools have been tested using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The paper discusses the optimisation of e-learning in healthcare along the choice of four variables: professional culture, technology fit, content of the course and cost. It concludes that with the support of appropriated Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), e-learning improves the quality of education in a cost-effective way.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
