Computerization of Academics:

Over the last several decades, the implementation of healthcare computer-based information systems has transformed the healthcare delivery system. Electronic methods are now incorporated in the educational process of healthcare providers. A primary mission of higher education is the education of students to ultimately create an improved healthcare system. These may be students in current degree programs or those doing continuing education.

The use of electronics for education focuses on the delivery of learning material and student assessment. Address the following:

  • Identify two benefits that have accompanied the computerization of academics, specifically related to your experiences with on-ground versus distance learning.
  • Identify two challenges that have accompanied the computerization of academics, specifically related to your experiences with on-ground versus distance learning. Does the computerization of nursing education present specific challenges that other disciplines may not encounter?

Be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
