Abstract Aim This study was conducted to develop an electrocardiogram education program that incorporates an HTML webpage and blended learning methods to enhance electrocardiogram interpretation skills. Through continual and efficient education, the program aims to assist nurses in providing appropriate care and treatment to patients. Design Pre-post design study. Methods We developed an electrocardiogram interpretation HTML webpage based on an electrocardiogram interpretation algorithm and implemented an 18-week (2023.5.15 ~ 2023.9.22) electrocardiogram education program, which included daily 5-minute training sessions. Twenty-seven ward nurses were provided with the URL ( https://ecgweb.github.io/ECGwebEN ) to the electrocardiogram interpretation HTML webpage and shared one electrocardiogram case daily for self-interpretation. Electrocardiogram interpretation performance and confidence were evaluated through questionnaires at three phases: before the program, after 6 weeks of basic electrocardiogram and arrhythmia education, and after 12 weeks of application of the electrocardiogram interpretation HTML webpage and case-based lecture education. The statistical tests used were repeated-measures ANOVA or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results The average score for electrocardiogram interpretation performance before the electrocardiogram education program was 11.89(SD = 3.50), after 6 weeks of basic electrocardiogram and arrhythmia education it was 14.15(SD = 3.68), and after 12 weeks of application of the electrocardiogram interpretation HTML webpage and case-based lecture education, it was 15.56(SD = 3.04). This shows that electrocardiogram interpretation performance significantly improved over time (p
