“…A total of 38 different software platforms were reported, which are listed in Multimedia Appendix 2 . Of these, 13 were general educational platforms (34%), the most frequently used being Moodle [ 30 - 37 ] and Blackboard [ 38 - 46 ], mentioned in 8 papers, and WebCT [ 47 - 52 ], mentioned in 6 papers. The online virtual world Second Life [ 53 , 54 ] was mentioned in 2 papers, and 9 additional platforms were mentioned once.…”

BackgroundComputer-based learning (CBL) has been widely used in medical education, and reports regarding its usage and effectiveness have ranged broadly. Most work has been done on the effectiveness of CBL approaches versus traditional methods, and little has been done on the comparative effects of CBL versus CBL methodologies. These findings urged other authors to recommend such studies in hopes of improving knowledge about which CBL methods work best in which settings.ObjectiveIn this systematic review, we aimed to characterize recent studies of the development of software platforms and interventions in medical education, search for common points among studies, and assess whether recommendations for CBL research are being taken into consideration.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of the literature published from 2003 through 2013. We included studies written in English, specifically in medical education, regarding either the development of instructional software or interventions using instructional software, during training or practice, that reported learner attitudes, satisfaction, knowledge, skills, or software usage. We conducted 2 latent class analyses to group articles according to platform features and intervention characteristics. In addition, we analyzed references and citations for abstracted articles.ResultsWe analyzed 251 articles. The number of publications rose over time, and they encompassed most medical disciplines, learning settings, and training levels, totaling 25 different platforms specifically for medical education. We uncovered 4 latent classes for educational software, characteristically making use of multimedia (115/251, 45.8%), text (64/251, 25.5%), Web conferencing (54/251, 21.5%), and instructional design principles (18/251, 7.2%). We found 3 classes for intervention outcomes: knowledge and attitudes (175/212, 82.6%), knowledge, attitudes, and skills (11.8%), and online activity (12/212, 5.7%). About a quarter of the articles (58/227, 25.6%) did not hold references or citations in common with other articles. The number of common references and citations increased in articles reporting instructional design principles (P=.03), articles measuring online activities (P=.01), and articles citing a review by Cook and colleagues on CBL (P=.04). There was an association between number of citations and studies comparing CBL versus CBL, independent of publication date (P=.02).ConclusionsStudies in this field vary highly, and a high number of software systems are being developed. It seems that past recommendations regarding CBL interventions are being taken into consideration. A move into a more student-centered model, a focus on implementing reusable software platforms for specific learning contexts, and the analysis of online activity to track and predict outcomes are relevant areas for future research in this field.

“…In our study, we have inferred that 70.8 % students preferred e-learning than conventional learning based on the qualitative questionnaire. 5 Nahid Zarif Sanaiey et al in his study showed that blended learning (e-learning and traditional way of learning) is more effective approach than E leaning alone. 6 Kristine Rasmussen et al concluded that offline elearning is equivalent and possibly superior to traditional learning regarding knowledge, skills, attitudes and satisfaction which is similar to result obtained in this study.…”

BACKGROUND E-learning is a system of learning where the content is delivered electronically. E-learning involves using computers or IT for delivery of at least some part of the content. The objectives of the study were-1. To assess the difference in knowledge of medical students after conventional bed side teaching vs e learning method of ophthalmic case demonstration. 2. To assess the differences in perception of medical students about two teaching methodologies.

Abstract-This paper introduces current situation and defects of distance teaching platform and puts forward a design scheme to construct a distance teaching platform under the support of internet technology. The system owns diversified functions such as learning mode conversion, online learning and examination, and implements "low-flow" technology. Occupancy rate of such technology for network bandwidth is small in the operation process. Under the conditions of unstable network speed or slow network speed, it can operate fluently to make sure routine teaching and examination can be conducted normally. The application result of this system in Construction Cost Engineering shows that this system plays a significant role in improving the teaching quality of this course. Hence, it is feasible to apply the learning system in other courses.
