Gillis, Angela; Jackson, Winston; Braid, Angus; MacDonald, Patsy; MacQuarrie, Margie Ann

Journal of Distance Education, v15 n1 p1-20 Spr 2000

Describes women's experiences using print-based and multimedia CD-ROM technology to deliver a nursing course to registered nurses from communities across Nova Scotia enrolled in a distance education BScN program. Outlines six principles to guide the selection and use of media in distance education and recommends the integration of CD-ROM and print-based technologies together as an effective delivery strategy rather than exclusively one or the other.
