“…Twigg (2002) described the elearning approach as learner-centered and its design as entailing a system that is interactive, self-paced, repetitious and customizable. Huffaker and Calvert (2003) proposed that elearning can be understood as the use of network technologies which foster an anytime-anywhere transfer of information. Pan and Leidner (2003) thought that e-learning is one new learning style whose purpose is to establish a learning organization and nurture a corporate culture based on knowledge sharing.…”

Among the many technologies that support knowledge management, electronic learning or e-learning has become as popular as business intelligence. Along with the rapid development of modern communications and information technology and the increasing demand for building and maintaining business continuity capabilities, e-learning has emerged into a viable solution for continuous, on-demand training and organizational learning. It becomes critical for organizations to design and develop an effective e-learning system by using well-researched theories and technologies that fit their organizational environment. As we discovered in our study, a successful e-learning system is supported by many critical success factors (CSFs), and technology is the key factor among the CSFs. We also conducted a comparative study on e-learning theories, technologies and products from the perspectives of both western practitioners and Chinese counterparts. Due to the rapid economic development in China and its fast adoption of communications and information technology, the ways Chinese practitioners are developing e-learning theories, technologies and products have inevitably become a focal point in the world of information technology. Through the analysis of the current e-learning technologies and products, we outline the trends of developing e-learning systems and emphasize the importance of proper theories in guiding e-learning systems development.

Abstract-The emergence of E-learning technology provides many approaches for the learners interacting with multi-media, which could be used in various teaching methodologies, however, it is not applied extensively in the educational field, since the lack of necessary digital literacy of teachers and learners. Based on the background and features of E-learning, the paper points out content design and evaluation elements of E-learning. In the network era, we should make full use of the convenience brought by computer, it is imperative to improve efficiency on teaching.

“…Well-designed interactive elearning contents can be used to implement active learning environments (Huffaker & Calvert 2003). Furthermore, also the use of authentic learning, which engages students in real-world problems by simulating clinical practice and, thus, are more motivating for learners (Herrington, Reeves & Oliver 2010), should be considered.…”

E-learning is nowadays included in different health care curricula. However, this learning and teaching approach is still relatively underused in the health care study programmes. Hence, the goal of this article is to present three e-learning best practices in health care, which were validated in our previous projects/studies.First best practice, e-learning practice contents for the development of critical thinking, presents the approach which resulted in significant (p<0.001) raise in the number of discussion posts (+12.2%) for which the opinions and conclusions of the participants were justified with valid arguments. Furthermore, also the survey results showed that students achieve critical thinking skills with these contents. Second best practice, inclusion of the health care students in the development of e-contents, also resulted as a valid approach for improving the use of e-learning in health care curricula, which was confirmed by the expert opinion and e-contents final users. Finally, third best practice, our approach for evaluation and comparison of e-learning and traditional pedagogical elements value by health care students and teachers, was confirmed in the interview with the management as a valid approach that helps the management to identify whether previous elearning initiatives and activities were successful. Best practices, presented in this paper, represent the evidence that the use of modern information and communication technologies should be considered in the future as a serious requisite in health care study programmes. The broader community interested in the e-learning initiative should prepare a list of similar best practices, validate its effectiveness and prepare guidelines for their optimal implementation..
