285 An Interface Design Evaluation of Courses in a Nursing Program using an E-Learning Framework: A Case Study Brenda Tyczkowski University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA Eric Bauman Clinical Playground, LLC, USA Susan Gallagher-Lepak University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA Christine Vandenhouten University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA Janet Resop Reilly University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA Chapter 18 ABSTRACT Interface design refers to the overall look and feel of an e-learning program by the end user (Hall, as cited in Khan, 2005). Initially designed for corporate use, the World Wide Web as it is now known surfaced in the early 1990s. Individual use grew rapidly in the 1990's, with "online users doubling or tripling every year" (When Guide, n.d.). Online degree granting educational programs slowly developed. An early fully online RN (Registered Nurse) to BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program was the Collaborative Nursing Program (CNP) in Wisconsin. The CNP, now called the "BSN@Home" program, started in 1995, to serve associate degree and diploma prepared nurses throughout the state of Wisconsin desiring DOI: 10.4018/978-1-61350-516-8.ch018 Copyright © 2012, IGI Global.
