Which of the following is a potential disadvantage of Web-based instruction (WBI) for nursing students?
1. Learning time is prolonged due to the downloading of large learning modules.
2. The locus of control for learning lies with the student.
3. Online access is limited to those students who have a computer with Internet service.
4. Socializing students to their chosen profession is difficult.
4
Rationale: WBI poses difficulties about the ability to socialize students to their chosen profession. This is because there are usually no regular, face-to-face meetings between the faculty and the student and among the students themselves. Downloading large learning modules does not prolong learning time. Large files are usually compressed for easy download within a short period of time.
