Abstract 

This study provides data that support computer-assisted instruction (CAI) as an effective instructional method when teaching associate degree nursing students about congenital heart disease. Literature indicates that students learn better when they see, hear, and interact in the learning process. CAI is an instructional method that includes these elements. Implications of this include the fact that CAI can be used to teach difficult concepts to nursing students effectively and provide nursing faculty an alternative teaching strategy to lecture.
