Abstract:
The use of instructional software is predominant in many nursing programs. The need for cost-effective, quality programs requires faculty to evaluate instructional software before its purchase and use. The purpose of this work was to develop a tool for evaluating instructional software programs. The tool was based on data from the literature, as well as input and feedback from nurse educators and multimedia specialists. The evaluation tool assists faculty to ensure proper evaluation and selection of instructional software.
