“…Out of all 60 included studies, 33 studies investigated eLearning in the field of medicine [26,28,32,34–36,38–41,44,45,49,50,54,58–62,64–70,72,75,77,78,80,82]. Eleven of the articles [25,27,33,42,43,53,56,74,76,79,83] were exclusively from nursing, 3 [55,57,81] were within the field of physical therapy, whereas 3 other studies within pharmacy [30, 31, 71]. Nine studies [29,37,46–48,51,63,73] investigated eLearning for dentistry students.…”

Background Health systems worldwide are facing shortages in health professional workforce. Several studies have demonstrated the direct correlation between the availability of health workers, coverage of health services, and population health outcomes. To address this shortage, online eLearning is increasingly being adopted in health professionals' education. To inform policy-making, in online eLearning, we need to determine its effectiveness.

“…19 Besides that, most of the students were satisfied with discussion forums as they believed it will provide a platform for the students to ask questions and engage discussions with different lecturers at any time. 3,21 Another benefit of discussion forum is that it allows students to lead their own discussion, to share knowledge among peers, and time for the students to deliver their ideas in a clearer way, 3 whereas for e-learning functionality, since e-learning utilizes the web technology, the students' belief on the usefulness of e-learning can be measured by following the technology acceptance model.…”

Introduction:The term e-learning can be described as the usage of electronic devices along with or without the help of internet to conduct a learning environment where it can be beneficial for the student. Nowadays e-learning is being integrated in the tertiary education to provide a better learning environment for the student. The review presents the current practice of e-learning at the tertiary education level in Malaysia. Methodology: A database search of PubMed, Science Direct, and Google scholar was conducted using terms such as e-learning, web-based learning, online learning, virtual learning, mobile learning. Results and Discussion: E-learning is not a new trend of teaching and learning method in the Malaysian education system and already been implemented in some of the universities in Malaysia. In this review, perception of lectures and students on e-learning interventionwere described to understand how well e-learning is being accepted in the education system.Besides that, we also mention the barriersand impact of e-learning implementation on students and the institution itself. Implementation of e-learning in health science andpharmacy education had received mixed responses. More studies on e-learning implementation especially on pharmacy education are needed. Conclusion: By understanding the current e-learning practice in Malaysia universities, it will enable continuous improvement on the e-learning programme so that it can be beneficial to all.

Objective: Evaluate effects of an online education program about weight management for osteoarthritis on physiotherapists' self-reported confidence in knowledge and skills in weight management, and attitudes toward obesity.Method: A two-group randomized controlled trial, 80 physiotherapists (58 female) randomized to education or control groups. The theoretically-and evidence-informed online self-directed training program covered biopsychosocial elements of obesity and weight management. The primary outcome was self-reported confidence in knowledge in weight management using a customised validated tool (scale 14-70, higher scores indicating higher confidence) assessed at baseline and six weeks. Secondary measures included confidence in nutrition care, clinical skills in weight management, and weight stigma. Process measures evaluated participant experience. Differences in change between groups were compared using linear regression models adjusted for baseline scores and stratifying variables (clinical setting; confidence in weight management). Moderation analysis was performed using an interaction approach in a linear regression model and multivariable fractional polynomial interaction approach. Results: 79 (99%) participants completed outcome measures at six weeks. The education group demonstrated greater improvement in confidence in knowledge than control (adjusted meandifference (95% confidence intervals) 22.6 units (19.6,25.5). Greater improvement in knowledge was associated with lower baseline values (interaction p-value=0.002). Secondary outcomes showed greater improvements in confidence in skills and nutrition care and in weight stigma domains favouring the education group. Over 90% of participants would recommend the program to peers. Conclusion: An online education program improves physiotherapists' short-term confidence in knowledge and skills in weight management for people with osteoarthritis and reduces weight stigmatized attitudes. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION • Physiotherapists commonly treat people with osteoarthritis and while clinical guidelines recommend weight loss for those with overweight/obesity, most physiotherapists feel they lack the requisite knowledge and skills to provide weight management advice and support. • An interactive training program (EduWeight-OA) for clinicians based on existing obesity management frameworks and educational pedagogy was developed for physiotherapists to support integration of weight management into their treatment for OA to address this gap in practitioner confidence. • Results of this randomized controlled trial indicate that the EduWeight-OA program is effective in increasing physiotherapists' self-reported confidence in knowledge in weight management and reducing weight stigma for people with OA. • EduWeight-OA is a freely available online self-directed training resource for healthcare practitioners around the world (https://healthsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/physiotherapy/chesm/clinicianresources/eduweight-training)
