Summary A computer‐assisted learning program in respiratory intensive care was introduced into the undergraduate curriculum at University College Hospital. Educational effectiveness was assessed. This method of learning was found to be highly acceptable to students. The improvement in students knowledge of the subject was up to three times greater in those who used the computer program, than a control group of students who received only teaching by conventional means, ( P =0.016). The results of a questionnaire designed to elicit students' attitudes to this learning experience are discussed.
