“…Barriers to the recruitment of learners to online courses have been identified in previous studies [ 42–45 ], such as time constraints, lack of staff, and interruptions to routines. The low recruitment rate for online courses in the present study was similar to that reported in previous studies [ 4 , 33 , 46 , 47 ]. Strategies to improve learners’ participation in non-degree or CME courses have been the focus of several previous studies [ 48–50 ], such as using reminders [ 50 ], direct mail or promotion via search engine advertising and email [ 48 ].…”

Background There has been a rapid development and adoption of online learning in medical education. However, it is difficult to adopt the currently available online learning management systems (LMS). This study aimed to examine learners’ perspectives on the evaluation of online LMS. Methods An online LMS was developed based on the evidence-based guidelines. Two cross-sectional studies were conducted. A short survey was conducted with 716 learners registered on the LMS to obtain their perspectives on the online participation. A satisfaction survey was conducted with 255 learners enrolled in the courses taught solely online. Data from the LMS monitoring system was used to report the uptake of online courses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results Participants reported that the major factor influencing LMS uptake was the ability to be accessed anytime and anywhere ( n = 556, 77.7%). The participants had good experience in using the LMS and were satisfied with it ( n = 255, mean = 4.53, SD = 0.62). For online degree courses, the course had a high completion rate of 90% provided that a mark was assigned for course attendance. For non-degree courses, irrespective of whether they were free, paid, exam-based, or participation only, the completion rate was considered low (range 4.3–36.7%). Conclusion Under a limited budget, a medical school in a low- to middle-income country could develop an effective online LMS to meet learners’ needs. Our newly developed online LMS is relevant, accepted and to the satisfaction of the learners. Medical schools in the same context are encouraged to develop their own online LMS that serve and support learning in both degree and non-degree courses.

“…Note that the present study shows that, in relation to the GPs' learning preferences and needs, the online method was not their preferred choice. However, if CME is mandatory, online would be their first option, and in the future, the acceptance of computer-based internet or online education will increase markedly worldwide [ 16 , [40] , [41] , [42] ]. Therefore, if they must undertake CME to maintain their registration, the most flexible and suitable method to adopt for their busy practice may be online.…”

“…Although a previous systematic review suggested that online CME improved GP satisfaction, knowledge, and practice, few well-designed studies have focused on this mode of educational delivery [ 13 ]. Furthermore, the poor uptake of online CME by GPs is evident [ 15 , 16 ].…”
