Considering how much effort has gone into development of elearning resources, it is sad that this systematic review found only low certainty evidence, and even more sad that it apparently made little different to patient outcomes.
"When compared to traditional learning, e-learning may make little or no difference in patient outcomes or health professionals' behaviours, skills or knowledge. Even if e-learning could be more successful than traditional learning in particular medical education settings, general claims of it as inherently more effective than traditional learning may be misleading."
