……….and not just random use of the devices.
Ruiz J G and Mintzer M J: 2006: The Impact of E-Learning in Medical Education: Academic Medicine, Vol. 81, No. 3
E-learning is actually one of the tools to create
learning experiences.
Following the social constructivist
theory of learning and principles of
adult learning
Why e-learning?• Most of the major journals are going to be
electronic in very near future.
• Many post-graduate courses have their major
chunk learned through e-learning.
• Knowledge is expanding so fast that it is impossible
to cope with it through hard copies.
• One can not travel all over the world: But can be
everywhere electronically
AdvantagesLearners have control over:
• The Contents
• learning sequence
• Pace of learning
• Time
• Media
It allows them to tailor their experience to meet
