This research is based on four pillars: 1. The use of computer software in the Nursing Science students' training; 2. The use of computer software by lecturers as support strategy for their teaching; 3. The development of subject specific software by lecturers; 4. The reason(s) for the slow integration of technology in Nursing Education.; Distance education is included in the integration process of Information Technology in Nursing Education, and implies the use of both low and high technology .
