| Popis: | M.Cur. The study started by establishing that there Is a need for further education for nurses in general.

The rationale led to .the formulation of the research question as: "To what extent can Web-based Instruction be used to facilitate a course in Critical Care Nursing Science Education at the Technikon Pretoria?" A literature review of the field of Web-based Instruction was undertaken. It was established that Web-based Instruction is an instructional strategy where the course presenter and the students are not in contact, and it can bridge the gap in tenns of time and space because of its flexibility and accessibility.
