Development of nursing courses, including the clinical component, to the WWW has been difficult. However, by creative curriculum design the educational needs of the students can be achieved, even enhanced, by the creation of a Community Health Web Course and Clinical. The adoption of this course will allow student's global access by a mere Internet connection. International students may diversify their educational experience by participation in U.S. Colleges and Universities. This presentation will enable the participant to develop, on the Web, a Community Health Nursing Course with a clinical component utilizing a Community Health Aggregate Curriculum. Participants will be able to describe the systematic process of providing aggregate health care to a population, in partnership with the community. The learner will articulate theory, as it relates to the development of aggregate interventions in the systematic process of aggregate assessment. The future of nursing education will inevitably include the evolution of Web course development. Schools of Nursing, as part of the evaluation process, must critically analyze how the World Wide Web will affect their enrollment and future existence.

Learning Objectives: This presentation will enable the participant to develop, on the Web, a Community Health Nursing Course with a clinical component utilizing a Community Health Aggregate Curriculum. Participants will be able to describe the systematic process of providing aggregate health care to a population, in partnership with the community. The learner will articulate theory, as it relates to the development of aggregate interventions in the systematic process of aggregate assessment
