“…[7][8][9] Thus, a combination of conventional teaching methods and DL may be an effective educational technique, particularly for undergraduates. [9][10][11] Moreover, it would be difficult to implement DL in the medical corridors for specific clinical skills and procedures. Therefore, to effectively deliver these skills using a DL approach, adding video materials to the virtual program could help tackle the challenges of DL's limitations as well as create a positive environment.…”

Introduction: Literature in education and training supports the notion that distance learning (DL) is the most effective mode of learning for health care workers to improve the quality of patient care. However, implementing DL requires pre-assessing learners' perspectives and attitudes for providing better delivery, essential support, and facilities. This study aimed to identify the viewpoints and attitudes of dental graduates toward DL in medical education and their point views of the effectiveness and efficacy of DL tools. Methods: A structured, self-administered questionnaire was distributed to registered adult graduates working in government-or private hospitals in a permanent position or for a long term (3 months or more). Data were collected and analyzed. Results: Two-thirds (67.9%) of the participants had previously attended a DL course. The highest ranked items on the participants' views on DL were ease of access, ability to take the course from any location, and be taught from anywhere in the world. Their perception of DL was analyzed in relation to gender and previous exposure to DL. Conclusion: This investigation revealed a positive attitude among graduates on the effectiveness of DL. Most respondents appreciated DL's convenience in terms of time flexibility and online attendance. Residents' attitudes toward DL and DL characteristics are major factors to consider when instituting or planning for DL. Continuous medical education through DL will continue to generate considerable interest as an international movement.

“…It has been noted that "eLearning makes sense" in that it provides an opportunity to better target learners beyond normal constraints and is accessible any time and any place (Delf, 2013). Lymn et al (2008) …”

Background. There is an increased need for dynamic, mobile, and relevant parent and caregiver education related to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and Sensory Processing (SP). This need may be due to the increased incidence of the conditions' co-morbidity and the revision of the diagnostic criteria of ASD. Reusable learning objects (RLOs) have been implemented as instructional tools as a part of, or adjunct to, formal health care education programs. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the appropriateness of RLOs as a part of routine patient and caregiver instruction of children with ASD.

“…Using a virtual learning environment so called Learning Management System (LMS), a lecturer could provide a learning material that can be accessed anytime and anywhere by a student using internet connections [1], [2]. Therefore, there is an extensive technique when using LMS in order to enrich the learning material and make it available to students [3], [4].…”

Currently, lecturers have been offered various LMS's. The Learning Management System (LMS) could provide high quality, rich and complete materials in Higher Education Institution (HEI) that use LMS as part of academic activities. In those activities, lecturers are the key persons responsible for enriching learning materials. Therefore, it was a common sense if lecturers need to be supported for enriching learning materials in any condition, whether it is online or offline. There are several options for a lecturer when he needs to use a LMS: use the LMS directly (access to the LMS server) or by implemented on a local machine as a local server. The use of LMS as a server application to give services for a virtual classroom brings many issues like installation, configuration, learning materials authoring, LMS operation, etc. In this particular case, we focus on the Indonesian educational environment, where a highly motivated lecturer is eager to use LMS to deliver lectures but restricted to use a limited bandwidth. Therefore, tools that can be used online as well as offline and are able to share the contents over diverse LMS are needed. The present paper discusses a supportive tool to support offline authoring, and delivery methodology development in existing LMS or even HEI with no LMS installed, considering all the issues related to LMS and the limited bandwidth environment where it will be used. As a result, we developed a Lecture Based Supportive Tool (LBST) as an approach to enable a lecturer to create learning materials in offline conditions and/or limited bandwidth, and then upload it on a remote LMS as an activity to share and enrich learning materials.
