Abstrakt: Technology is becoming increasingly more important in the enhancement of educating university students. Very little research has been done regarding how the combination of educational technologies affects test scores, compared to the use of one technology alone. This research article examines whether the post-scores of nursing students increased by the type and combination of educational technology used in their instruction. By testing the use of various educational technologies and various combinations of these technologies on three different groups of learners, a pre- and post-test design was conducted to identify changes in post-test knowledge scores. Findings from this study suggest the use of combined educational technology may improve a student's ability to learn material as students in the group that used a combination of technologies scored higher on the knowledge post-test than the other groups studied.
