How to build an effective computer based learning module
Problem Statement
In the healthcare environment, nurse educators are dedicated to making sure that staff members complete their hospital annual education requirements and that their certifications are renewed in a timely manner. In addition, they must monitor quality indicators in their clinical unit, and develop and implement educational programs that are geared to improving patient care. These educators reach their audiences with a variety of different methods, including live classes, simulations and online courses. Corporate E-learning modules offer a more cost-effective and convenient approach for a staff that work 24 x 7. Currently, there is no training offered on how to develop online education. Clearly it is assumed that the educator already has the knowledge to create effective and engaging e-learning modules.

However, this assumption is being proven ill-founded. It has become apparent that the Computer Based Learning courses (or CBLs) do not have a positive impact on learning retention and improved performance. Stakeholders concurred with this conclusion. Based on the assessment given, most educators do not understand or apply adult education best-practices when they are creating an online module.
The solution, at this point, is to organize a professional development day for the hospital educators. This would offer several different courses, foremost among them, instruction on how to create effective online education to reach educational goals.
