Examined in 2 experiments whether empirical evidence shows that measuring users' opinions is a satisfactory way of evaluating computer-assisted learning (CAL) in nurse education. In Exp 1, 61 freshmen nurses who received a 2-hr introduction to computers in nursing rated 8 features of the respective computer on a 7-point scale. In Exp 2, Ss were from a subsequent intake of student nurses who were not exposed to any computer-orientation before the experiment. Results show that Ss' opinions of their current computer-use were formed more by the change from a previously-used computing facility rather than the actual features that the current one possessed. The use of such opinions is not satisfactory in evaluating CAL in nurse education.
