▌Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of a joyful animated e-learning material on knowing and preparing the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE ) for nursing students. This system uses a multimedia technology to develop an animation that simulates a clinical environment embedded the content of the test. The nursing student whose role is setup by the system solves a series of hidden questions in the simulation. The ultimate purpose is to help nursing students actively comprehend the format of OSCE test so as to build confidence in learning. It is hoped that this learning model effectively help students develop knowledge and skills in order to develop problem solving ability. The result shows that this joyful animated e-learning material help nursing students better understand and worry less (p<0.05) about the OSCE test. The satisfaction of the material used in the OSCE animation is mostly greater than 3.5; therefore, this learning model is sure to be able to help students effectively learn to take the OSCE test.
