“…Digital education is not a new concept in entry-level physiotherapy education [12,13]. Several systematic [14][15][16] and scoping reviews [17,18] have investigated its effectiveness on learning processes and outcomes confirming that digital education has many benefits to offer. However, physiotherapy educators need to understand the role of digital technologies to address short-term educational issues posed by COVID-19 and to inform decisions for the post-pandemic time [19].…”

“…Whilst promising findings support the adoption of digital education in physiotherapy [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] (Fig. 1), caution should be adopted in generalising and transferring results to the current educational settings since data sampled from a nonemergency social context might not be applied to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic [19].…”

Currently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severely influences physiotherapy education which is based mostly on face-to-face teaching. Thus, educators have been compelled to adapt their pedagogical approaches moving to digital education. In this commentary, we debate on digital education highlighting its effectiveness, the users’ perspectives, and its weakness in the context of physiotherapy teaching aimed at informing post-COVID-19 future directions in this educational field. Existing evidence on digital education produced before COVID-19 supports its implementation into entry-level physiotherapy education. However, some challenges (e.g. social inequality and evaluation of students) threaten its applicability in post-COVID-19 era, calling educators to take appropriate actions.

Background: E-learning tools for students in health sciences present low levels of barriers and benefits for the student and the educator. No evidence is available using e-learning tools to design therapeutic exercise program skills. Research and different uses of technology in physiotherapy students are justified. The present study aimed to evaluate perception and satisfaction with an e-learning tool in five Spanish physiotherapy Universities. To evaluate the students' perception as an innovative learning experience identifying aspects to be improved and their perception respect to traditional teaching. Methods: A descriptive study in five health sciences faculties in Spain during the 2018-2020 academic years. The use of the tool is carried out under the supervision of physiotherapy teachers in diverse disciplines.Results: Results confirm that an e-learning tool to design therapeutic home exercise program is considered a satisfactory and innovative instrument that brings improvements in the learning of physiotherapy students with a high degree of satisfaction. Students declare aspect to be improved. All items have been valued positively with an average score of 3.41 in the set of 20 questions. It is considered a useful and necessary tool, compatible with traditional education. Conclusions: Our research provides new knowledge using innovative technologies enhancing learning skills. Students strongly recommend the use of the e-learning tool along the physiotherapy academic period.
