Dave has lectured in the Nursing Program at California State University in Sacramento for the past year and many students and faculty have also used his books to gain knowledge of how to use the Internet. This Workbook is well designed for the lifestyle of typical health care students and professionals who need knowledge now and don t have a great deal of time to spend obtaining it. Lessons are short and the topics are indexed and organized to allow users to jump to whatever section is of immediate need. A student who needs a literature search for a paper due Monday doesn t have to learn email first. Throughout the book are quick and simple exercises, designed to give hands-on practice and success.
Time saving tips, such as reminders to place bookmarks, accompany the practice sessions.
It s like having a good friend at your side as you venture out into the unknown waters of the Internet. Thanks to Dave, our students have become very creative in using the Internet for their nursing education. One, who started the program without ever having used the Net, prepared for a paper on homeless women by conducting an online interview with a shelter resident in another part of the state. A young male student prepared for a debate on breast feeding in public by soliciting opinions from a parents newsgroup. This semester, for the first time, every student cited a Web reference in their Teaching-Learning papers.
