“…The students' perception on e-learning intervention can be assessed through questionnaires or Likert-scale questionnaire. 7 Even though e-learning is widely practiced in tertiary education with in Malaysia, there are still problems and difficulties in the implementation of e-learning in universities. According to Embi, the problems in implementation e-learning are related to the governance of e-learning, e-content development, and issues faced both by the lecturers and students.…”

“…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.…”

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.

“…eLearning, or the use of electronic media and devices to facilitate teaching and learning, is an approach with increasing utility that solves many of these problems and provides increased scalability. 4 eLearning may prove as effective but cheaper than traditional training methods, particularly in the resource-poor setting. 5 But it is not without costs or barriers to implementation.…”

Background: Anaesthesia nurses form a critical part of the team providing perioperative care to patients, but no accredited training exists for them in South Africa. In this setting, short in-service training interventions are a pragmatic attempt at improving nurse performance and patient outcomes. Traditional didactic teaching formats have limitations, and mLearning (the use of mobile telephones to facilitate education) has proved equivalent or superior to traditional teaching methods in several settings. Despite very high levels of mobile phone ownership amongst healthcare workers in Africa, this form of educational delivery has not been tested in the hospital-based nursing population. Methods: A telephonic true/false pre-test was performed with 12 nurses of varying levels of training, to assess their preexisting knowledge of anaesthesia. A pre-learning package was then delivered to them in the form of daily SMSs for a month, covering relevant anaesthesia content. A telephonic post-intervention test was performed to assess whether anaesthesia theory knowledge had improved. Results: Median test scores out of 30 were compared using a Wilcoxon signed rank test and were statistically higher in the postintervention test: 25 ) (p = 0.018). Conclusions:The results demonstrate an association between a cheap and widely available educational vehicle, and an increase in nurse knowledge scores. The use of mobile telephones in medical education in limited-resource settings should be explored further.

“…Qualitative and quantitative studies of collaborative learning in medicine have shown higher levels of learner satisfaction, self awareness, improvement in knowledge and understanding of concepts. 2 The three primary characteristics of elearning are the nature of the learning experience, synchronicity of participation, and presence or absence of face-to-face instruction [3] . Depending upon the nature, the learning.…”
