Only limited pedagogical use has been made of information and communications technology (ICT) in nursing education in Norway. In this study the use of ICT was linked to assignments in the first year undergraduate nursing program and included four on-line discussions. There is evidence to suggest that on-line discussions can enhance the learning environment. The students' experiences of the on-line discussions are compared to those of the students participating in traditional group discussions. The results show little difference between the two groups' opinions of the discussions' fruitfulness and the ease in which they expressed their feelings, thoughts and ideas. However, there is a marked difference between the two groups regarding their experience of how the discussions affected the amount of contact between group members outside the discussions. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
在挪威，信息通信技术（ICT）在护理教育中的教学应用有限。在本研究中，ICT的使用与本科护理专业一年级的作业相关联，其中包括四次在线讨论。有证据表明，在线讨论可以改善学习环境。将学生对在线讨论的体验与参与传统小组讨论的学生的体验进行了比较。结果显示，两组对讨论成效以及表达感受、想法和观点的难易程度的看法差异不大。然而，在讨论对小组成员讨论之外的联系量有何影响这一体验上，两组之间存在显著差异。文中讨论了这些研究结果的可能原因。
