Offline eLearning for undergraduates in health professions: A systematic review of the impact on knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction

Abstract: BackgroundThe world is short of 7.2 million health-care workers and this figure is growing. The shortage of teachers is even greater, which limits traditional education modes. eLearning may help overcome this training need. Offline eLearning is useful in remote and resource-limited settings with poor internet access. To inform investments in offline eLearning, we need to establish its effectiveness in terms of gaining knowledge and skills, students' satisfaction and attitudes towards eLearning.

“…The delivery method of the learning materials can be done either offline through compact disc, digital video disks or USB memory stick, or online through the network connection noting that the ongoing learning activities do not depend on this connection. 7,18 This type of e-learningis normally being utilized in the remote areas with poor network connection in effort to overcome difficulty of accessing the e-learning online. 18 A study by Rasmussen et al suggested that offline e-learning is equivalent and might be better than traditional learning in terms of knowledge, skills, attitude, and satisfaction among the students.…”

“…In undergraduate medical training, a 2014 systematic review including 4955 students found that eleven out of 33 studies testing knowledge gains found higher gains in the eLearning groups. The remaining 22 studies found similar results or did not test for differences [38]. The same work described higher skill gains in eight out of thirteen studies in the eLearning groups (the remaining five studies did not detect any differences) [38].…”

“…The remaining 22 studies found similar results or did not test for differences [38]. The same work described higher skill gains in eight out of thirteen studies in the eLearning groups (the remaining five studies did not detect any differences) [38]. Only very recently it was shown in a systematic review that eLearning showed either greater or similar effectiveness compared with both no intervention and non-eLearning intervention in general surgery training [28].…”

“…Access to computers and the capacity to use them may reduce the efficacy of computer-based eLearning in the developing world. 6 Mobile telephones are gaining popularity as vehicles for delivering training and potentially solve some of the issues of cost and capacity associated with traditional, computer-based eLearning.…”
