    Introduction The complex nature of contemporary nursing and practice warrants that undergraduate nursing education curricula needs to incorporate and apply both information communication technology ... (ICT), technology enhanced learning (TEL) and new emerging technologies. It is contended that TEL is one of the most important teaching strategies that should be integrated in nursing education curricula. The aim of this research was to identify the attitudes and experience of nursing teachers in relation to using TEL in nursing education. Methods A qualitative approach using one to one interviews was used. Purposive sampling was used to select participants (n = 5), five nursing teachers from one higher nursing education institution. The participants were strategically homogeneous on (a) the key qualification of having knowledge and experience germane to the research objective TEL and (b) applying TEL to augment teaching and learning approaches. A semi-structured interview format with four main questions was used. The interviews were audio-taped and transcripts of those tapes and written responses of participants were coded and analysed. Two researchers independently coded the data. Results Results indicate that the nursing educators have a positive attitude towards the integration of TEL in nursing education. It is their opinion that the use of TEL in learning and teaching will increase the quality of nursing education. Time optimization, innovative teaching approaches, and active student's engagement were identified as opportunities for using TEL. Software barriers, computer anxiety and lacks of skills in innovate teaching approaches constitute the main barriers that nursing educators face in TEL. Discussion and conclusion Using TEL in the teaching and learning portfolio in nursing education will serve to improve, enhance, and innovate the quality of nursing education.
