Applicants for the computer-based publication award were judged on how information technology was used in order to further professional goals as well as nurse leadership and involvement. UNM CON was selected for the award for its outstanding instructional or informational use of a computer for student learning. This award recognizes the hard work, leadership at UNM, and creativity of the CON s faculty in developing web-based courses for UNM students. Web-based education is in its infancy, and there is a long way to go to figure out how best to use the power of the World Wide Web to extend the reach of nursing education, said Rehm. The CON began offering Internet courses in 1998.
Plans are underway to expand web offerings in the near future.
