A study and analysis of existence and involvements of computer assisted E-Learning techniques for the improvement and development of medical education and knowledge dissemination

This paper provide an introduction to e-learning and its role in medical education by outlining key terms, the components of e-learning, the evidence for its effectiveness, evaluation strategies for e-learning and development of e-learning. This study is a closer look at how it is possible to effectively use e-learning in medical education and what steps need to be made in that direction.-learning is the use of Internet technologies to enhance knowledge and performance. E-learning technologies offer learners control over content, learning sequence, pace of learning, time, and often media, allowing them to tailor their experiences to meet their personal learning targets and objectives. In diverse medical education contexts, e-learning appears to be at least as effective as traditional instructor-led methods such as lectures. Students do not see e-learning as replacing traditional instructor-led training but as a complement to it, forming part of a blended-learning strategy. A developing infrastructure to support e-learning within medical education which includes repositories, or digital libraries, to manage access to e-learning materials, consensus on technical standardization, and methods for peer review of these resources. E-learning provides numerous research opportunities for faculty, along with continuing challenges for documenting scholarship. Innovations in e-learning technologies point toward a revolution in education, allowing learning to be individualized adaptive learning, enhancing learners’ interactions with others collaborative learning and transforming the role of the educators. The integration of e-learning into medical education can diverting the shift toward applying adult learning theory, where educators will no longer serve mainly as the distributors of content, but will become more involved as facilitators of learning and assessors of competency and success.
