This article presents the results of a study to evaluate the effect of using electronic learning
versus lecture of nursing students at a large state faculty where experience with and access to computer
facilities are limited. The study was conducted on a group of (N = 276) second-year nursing students from
both gender at the Faculty of Nursing of Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. A control group using
traditional lectures included 186 students, and a study group of 90 students used e-learning. Data were
collected through a student's knowledge assessment sheet, observation checklists, a 7-point semantic
differential scale, and an opinionnaire sheet. This article reports the analysis and statistical results of the
study with respect to knowledge gained, practice, attitudes, and opinions toward traditional lectures and
e-learning. Lack of computer skills of students affected their abilities to communicate effectively with the
instructor and failed to participate in a variety of online communication methods. Students in the study
group were satisfied with the e-learning program as a teaching method, but they did not wish to take
another e-learning program except if they had computer and Internet at home. The study recommended
that it is better to use and tune a “blended learning environment” that integrates the strengths of both elearning
and lecture into nursing education to provide the most efficient and effective instruction and
overcome the deficiency of limited skills and resources.
