Computer aided instruction (CAI) has gained reputation in a lot of disciplines. The aim of the research was to folds: student evaluation of the implementation of a CAI and perceptions of the value of CAI in learning nutrition. A prototype CAI nutrition program was developed to provide principles of nutrition. Descriptive, Kruskal Wallis test and Spearman correlations were conducted to explore the relationship among study variables. 399 students were included in the analyses. The vast majority of students reacted positively to CAI. There was significant difference between gender on preference, image quality, learning, and the motivation. There is a significant difference between gender on protein, energy, and health knowledge subjects. Students` responses to CAI were very high. Based on the results of this research, nutrition educators can recommend that nutrition CAI programs be implemented in university students.
